Amsterdam · sightRed Light District
Planning Amsterdam? Red Light District is worth a look — a sight. Amsterdam's Red Light District is one of the oldest and most famous areas of the city. Entwined with the city's seafaring past, the Red Light District hosts some of the city's oldest structures built in the traditional Dutch style. Wander the classic cobblestone streets and admire high church towers – including the Oude Kerk – around every corner. While the Red Light District is named for the infamous "red lights" that adorn the alleyways, there's so much more to explore. Red Light Secrets and Our Lord in the Attic are some of the museum attractions tucked in between shops, restaurants, and pu visitor rating 4.3/5 (764 reviews).
