Join us on an exploration of this fascinating area and learn about its past, present and future as it struggles, like the rest of the city, to deal with the recent influx of tourists. This tour contains sexual themes, but th...

Itinerary
1
Red Light District
Look beyond the drunken tourists in Amsterdam’s Red Light District and you will find a vibrant, living neighbourhood, in which the roots of Dutch tolerance and pragmatism can be found. WARNING! This tour contains sexual themes, but that's what you were secretly hoping for, right?!
2
Zeedijk
Zeedijk or sea-dike is a former dike or flood protection wall, most likely built around the 1100s to protect Amsterdam’s early population from the raging tides of the sea.
3
Nieuwmarkt
Depending on the time of year Nieuwmarkt Square might be empty, or there may be a market taking place, or maybe even a carnival. Nieuwmarkt is a hotspot for today's hipsters.
4
Statue "Belle"
Belle was made by Dutch artist Else Rijerse by the request of Mariska Majoor, the founder of the Prostitutes Information Center. The statue’s aim is to engender respect.
5
Oude Kerk
The first wooden church built at the site of de Oude Kerk in the 1200s was replaced in 1306 by a brick structure. Today the main hall remains, whilst other parts have been added throughout the centuries.
