The Red Light District is one of the most interesting and beautiful neighborhoods in the world, but has a bad reputation. It somehow became my mission to show visitors the many beautiful sides of the area. This tour is an ideal mix of history, current changes in the Red Light District, happening places and a good day out. Ofcourse we'll visit the heart of Amsterdam, the oldest building in town, the place where Rembrandt got married and many other historic sights. The Red Light District played a huge role in the famous Dutch tolerant culture. Like the story of my grandfather who owned one of the first bars for black people. The area is known for it's window brothels and coffee shops, but is currently going through big changes due to a project of the city council. Many window brothels and coffee shops are being closed. Due to this project, creatives (like my wife her chocolate store) are able to rent these former window brothels and start businesses inside.
We walk through the oldest streets of Amsterdam. After this we visit the Zeedijk and hear beautiful stories of the old harbor. Feel the cultural rich and lively China Town. We continue to De Waag where Rembrandt painted his famous painting 'The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp'. We explore some other parts of the Red Light District and visit our chocolate speciality store located in former window brothels. During the tour we won't pass by any of the active Red Light District windows due to new city regulations!
