I wouldn't be worried about this place. Just don't be a naive idiot and go on your own. I felt safer there then going to Fortitude Valley in Brisbane , Australia.

When you pay a visit to the redlight district, then do not take pictures there. The prostitutes do not like that and neither will their pimps. Stay safe and keep the camera in the pocket.

The red light district of Amsterdam, this place really is smuggy by night, and makes you think twice about the city, but i guess its just like any other big city, it has its problems.

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.

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!

The Red Light District can get a bit scary at night. For women, there are lots of drunken men mulling around, so be careful and travel in groups.
