Drugs and sex!

The red light district has more to show us than prostitution, drugs and sex hahahaha this guide shows us a little more in depth the history of its streets, museums and bars.

Much to discover in the Red Light District.

The red light district is the place to discover Amsterdam in different ways, from the church of St. Nicolaaskerk, beautiful canals that make Amsterdam unique, to EROTIC museums. It is a neighborhood that has a lot to know and thanks Soundwalkers I managed it. Total immersion!!!
