The Red Light District is a much talked about and rewritten area that runs through the center of Amsterdam. The name comes from the fact that prostituted women stand in red-lit shop windows and pose until someone wants to buy them.

This area has everything in the areas of sex shops , brothels and strip clubs.

They also have more unusual attractions such as a condom museum. In the Netherlands, prostitution is legal and the activity mainly takes place in the Red Light District where women from all over the world work to sell their services.
