 | Amsterdam Red Light District Reviews | 11 - 20 of 51 |  |
You'll want to take a look at the red light district, but once you have seen it get out of there. It's especially intimidating during the daytime and we found that the best way to deal with the pushers was to ignore them. Leave a Comment

Besides not taking pictures in the Red light district - I would suggest not walking alone. I was grabbed twice by two guys who looked stoned - luckily I was not alone. Be a little careful. Leave a Comment

In the red light district, there are a lot of steel posts with three x's on them. If you are a guy, you'll probably be drooling over the prostitutes and not keeping your eyes focused on the sidewalk. You will invariably bump into one of these posts. Be careful so as not to take out your kneecaps. Leave a Comment

The Red Lights District again.
Unfortunately while wandering in the Red Lights District we came across solicitors and 'resellers' that wanted to sell us any kind of drugs, including cocaine, heroine and so on. The worst part has been that some of them were kids about 13-15 years old...
Another good reason to avoid dark streets at night in that area... Leave a Comment

No real dangers, although the red light district is not the safest place in the world and i found it tacky, but that's another matter! Leave a Comment

The area around the Red light distict is a favourite for pick pockets. You may be stopped on the Street and asked if you want to buy soft drugs. Poilitely decline and move briskly on. The city is fairly safe at night, but use common sense and avoid back alleys and dark side streets. Leave a Comment

Obviously you will no doubt have heard of the Red Light District I do not find it particularly dangerous but from a female perspective its one of those situations where you want to look but are too embarrassed to look. I am not sure whether I am embarrassed for me or for the girls!! Still there are some shady characters there so be vigilant as you would be anywhere!!! - Keep safe!!! Leave a Comment

The Red Light District is not for the faint hearted. Beware of pickpockets, prostitutes and drug pushers. Don't let it put you off though, if anything it is not as bad as other big cities! Walk around just for fun, there are always hoardes of tourists and you shouldn't feel intimidated, day or night. Leave a Comment

Amsterdam has become famous for it's red light district and cafes - unfortunately many people visit the city for only this reason, I found it to be my least favourite part. To see young girls prostituting themselves behind windows, and together with all the other sights of trashy sex and drugs the district offers at night, really filled me with sadness. It was an eye-opening experience which I suppose is never a bad thing. I would LOVE to revisit Amsterdam but next time I will avoid this aspect. Leave a Comment
