    Definitely a place to visit 👹 ....perfect with your friends in weekend. Very colorful, crowded, even with man at the windows, and for man (look at their feet). Don't try to make Windows photos !!!

    Go in the afternoon & again at night to see a remarkable change in activities. Afternoon stroll is without crowds but the crowd moves you at night. Unspoken rule: Don't point camera at the ladies.

    Kinky. Options for all kinds of experiences (and budgets) remember no photos unless they allow it. Do not be disrespectful and have fun. Blue lights are males (transvestites) red are woman

    Mixed feelings. You can have your camera with you but do not take photos of the girls. Mostly for curious tourists and sex tourism seekers. Beautiful area overall by the canals. Great architecture.

    Always an experience and is like no where else on earth but can get quite sinister in the early hours.

    Come here with your family during the day, and friends at night. Don't take pictures of the girls if you don't want any trouble.

    Weed, sex and alcohol. If you're looking for one of the three, it's the place to be. Else...meh. Some very nice views on the canals when the lights are shining in the evening.

    One of the livelier/more smoke filled areas in Amsterdam, kind of a social "must see". Don't take pictures of the windows and watch your stuff.

    Kind of sleazy, but still ok to walk around a take a look. There are women in underwear standing in windows like displays haha Men are besides themselves and women a little shy. Must see!!

    Go early to avoid drunk over the top tourists. Loads of cafes to stop for a smoke in too.

    When in Amsterdam, you do need to see what's going on over here. Very crowded in the weekends though.
  • John 忠威 suɐɥ D.
    A must see location. If timid visit during the day but for real lively activity the evening is best

    you know it won't be thrilling but you still have to walk through at least once to cross it off your list...

    Everyone knows about it. It’s pretty nice place to hangout and if you’re alone, you’ll definitely find a spot to visit

    Well, interesting place. Can be a tad bit intimidating and intoxicating at the same time. I’m told it was a lot wilder before the pandemic.

    Do not take photos of the occupied windows - this is strictly prohibited and any attempt will be quickly stamped out.

    Be sure to check it out at night to get the full effect of all the lights. Girls if you're feeling up for a show check out Casa Rosa! A fun show to go with your girlfriends!

    Looks normal in the daytime, turns into a pedestrian parade of gawkers at night. Still, you must walk through it once. Take a photo of the girls in the windows & their handler will ask for money.

    What can I say... Don't leave the city without stopping by. Or better yet, don't stop. Just keep walking along the streets.

    U know exactly why you came here. Watch the men that go in and out and be shocked at what u will see. It's a working girl area. They will be very rude if u stand in front and block their customers

    I'm still struggling with issues of consent here. And at services being provided to men only. For the women there are vibrators in the gift shops. Ha. Ha.

    Well, let's say: sex, drugs and rock'n roll. No pictures guys. Visit, do whatever you want, but no pictures. Also, watch out for pick pockets.
