    It was very interesting and well organized, but it was far too crowded. You had to jostle your way through the narrow aisles and were bumped into from every side. That should be better regulated somehow. As I said, everything else was good but nothing out of the ordinary.

  • This combo pairs a visit to Red Light Secrets, housed inside a former brothel, with a self guided walking tour through the district's streets, landmarks, and hidden corners. Together, they offer a closer look at the people, places, and social changes that shaped one of the city's most distinctive areas.

    Getting started

    Visit either experience first and present your mobile ticket. At Red Light Secrets, explore the museum independently with a multilingual audio guide. For the walking tour, download the audio guide, offline content, and interactive map to your phone before setting off whenever convenient.

    What to expect

    Red Light Secrets Museum

    Hidden behind an ordinary canal house facade, Red Light Secrets gives visitors access to a world that is usually seen only from the outside. Set inside a former brothel, the museum combines authentic interiors, personal stories, and interactive exhibits to shed light on the realities of sex work in Amsterdam.

    Features:

    • Former brothel interiors: Walk through rooms once used by sex workers and see spaces that are rarely accessible to the public.

    • Personal perspectives: Hear stories, experiences, and reflections that reveal the human side of a profession often surrounded by misconceptions.

    • Interactive exhibits: Explore photographs, recordings, and displays that trace the history and evolution of sex work in Amsterdam.

    • Multilingual audio guide: Follow the museum experience in English, Dutch, German, Spanish, or French for added context throughout your visit.

    Red Light District Walking Tour

    After learning about life behind the windows, head into the neighborhood itself. This self guided audio tour covers sixteen points of interest across the district, revealing how centuries of trade, religion, migration, and social policy helped create one of Amsterdam's most fascinating areas.

    Features:

    • Historic landmarks: Pass the Old Church, Amsterdam's oldest building, and see how it stands at the centre of the modern Red Light District.

    • Unexpected attractions: Encounter places like the Condom Museum, historic brothels, and one of Amsterdam's earliest coffeeshops along the route.

    • Stories of tolerance: Learn how Dutch attitudes toward prostitution and soft drugs evolved within a country once known for strict religious values.

    • Flexible exploration: Use the interactive map, offline content, and multilingual audio guide to explore at your own pace without relying on mobile data.
