Many visitors pass through Amsterdam's Red Light District without fully understanding the stories behind its famous windows and centuries old streets. This combo pairs a visit to Red Light Secrets, the world's only prostitution museum, with a guided walking tour through the neighborhood itself, helping you connect personal stories with the places where they unfolded.
Getting started
Visit either experience first and present your mobile ticket. At Red Light Secrets, collect your audio guide and explore the museum independently through its exhibits and preserved interiors. For the walking tour, meet your guide at the designated meeting point and join a small group of no more than fifteen guests.
What to expect
Red Light Secrets Museum
Set inside a former brothel in the heart of Amsterdam's Red Light District, Red Light Secrets offers a perspective that most visitors never gain from simply walking the neighborhood's streets. Through authentic spaces, personal accounts, and interactive exhibits, you'll learn about the realities of sex work and the people behind one of Amsterdam's most recognizable districts.
Features:
-
Former brothel setting: Walk through rooms once used by sex workers, offering a rare look inside spaces that are typically hidden from public view.
-
Personal stories and exhibits: Explore photographs, objects, recordings, and multimedia displays that reveal experiences beyond common assumptions and stereotypes.
-
World's only prostitution museum: Visit a one of a kind museum dedicated entirely to the history, realities, and cultural significance of sex work.
-
Multilingual audio guide: Follow the experience in English, Dutch, German, Spanish, or French, with commentary that adds context and personal perspectives throughout your visit.
Red Light District Guided Tour
After learning about life behind the windows, head into the district itself with a professional guide. As you walk through its narrow streets, canals, and historic corners, your guide will explain how the neighborhood developed, share local perspectives, and answer questions that often go unanswered during a self guided visit.
Features:
-
Expert local guidance: Join a guided walking tour led by an English-speaking guide, depending on the option selected.
-
Stories behind the streets: Learn about the district's history, culture, and evolution through commentary that brings its landmarks and surroundings into context.
