Redlight District is the most famous place of Amsterdam. This is the old quarter of the city, including many coffes shops, cafe bruns, and the red houses. Coffes shop is the trading and drug consumption place. Cafe Bruns (Brown cafes_ are typical pubs in Netherlands. Red houses are also the places for playboys, or luxurious customers/visitors.
REDLIGHT
Redlight is famous for firstly the prostitution with very specific forms. Here, the girls standing inside the displaying window are offering the guests. The brothels are distinguished from the other houses by rows of red lights. Inside brothels, they are also decorated with neon lights and red curtains; the houses are also painted in red color.
When there is no customer (the curtains will be opened), visitors can easily see the girls with sexy clothes. Here, you can choose for yourself a chick in different skin color: chocolate brown, white, yellow, or tan, with all ages from the smallest (above 18 years old) to the eldest as possible.
In Amsterdam, Redlight District is one of the most dynamic, and attractive places for the visitors and tourists from everywhere in the world. However, around 11 PM, it is the time when the street is the most crowded. In this place, you are absolutely forbidden filming or taking any photos of the girls inside the displaying windows. If you do film or take photos, the security guards will ask you to remove or delete all the images. If you intentionally violated, you will be asked to leave the area. Or worse, the girls inside the displaying windows will jump out, take your camera and throw it to the nearby canal.
PROSTITUTION
Prostitution has been considered legal in the Netherlands since 1815. In 1996, the government decide to forces these kind of business to pay taxes like the other businesses. Those who operate in this sector must be registered, have medical verification, and be guaranteed to have full rights as a workers.
Sex shops are also the specific characteristics of this district.You can find plenty of shops here.
In Amsterdam, it is estimated to contain approximately 250 brothels and about 25000 prostitutes working legally in the Netherlands (figures in 2003)

REDLIGHT - A PLACE YOU SHOULD NOT MISS
Besides the crowd of trading activities, Redlight also attract the visitors by the small romantic streets, and by the charming canal reflected the houses built in the 14th century.
If you come to Amsterdam - the Netherlands, the place you should not miss is "Redlight district". I think there is nowhere in the world like this place. Many tourists will like singing, drinking beer, and taking a tour around the district by boat. Besides, the girls inside the displaying windows are very warm and happy greeting the tourists. There is no elbowing scene as well as fighting on the street. Maybe it is also the reason which contribute to the tourism image of "Redlight District".
