You get an idea about how liberal Amsterdam is by ambling around the famous De Wallen. The Red Light District is a five-minute walk from the Centraal Station. During the day, it’s like any other neighborhood of the city, with coffee shops and picture-perfect bridges over canals. Although it has a fair number of sex theatres, sex shops, and the cannabis museum. At night, the entire place lights up in neon, red being the primary color. Walk alongside the canal houses, and you’ll see sex workers behind glass windows inviting enthusiastic clients. A lively and buzzing area post sundown, the Red Light District is very safe and has a professional aura. You’ll come across the police patrolling the streets, making sure there is no lewd behavior. They also stop anyone from taking photographs of the sex workers, which is a punishable offense. If traveling with family, the Red Light District is safe to walk around with children during the day. However, avoid nighttime unless you are prepared to answer some possibly inquisitive questions from them. Picture Credit: PublicDomainPictures - Pixabay.com
