Amsterdam at Night
Forget what you may have heard about Amsterdam’s Red Light District, aka RLD. It is one of the most beautiful places to see and even more picturesque at night. A mass infusion of old world architecture meets new world culture. The progressive thinking has given the RLD its current fame but take a look at the beauty of the RLD itself….
An evening stroll towards the RLD begins in the many small streets filled with shoppers and food seekers
The canals cut through the RLD just like most of Amsterdam and no better time to view than at night
Street lights show their reflection well in the calm waters
The main area of live sex shows and other “adult entertainment”
Leaves little to the imagination
“ah-hem” It’s just a sex toy shop and there are a lot of them in the RLD
Yes smoking weed is legal and can be found in “coffee shops” throughout Amsterdam
The Oude Kerk is a parish church and is Amsterdam’s oldest building right in the center of the RLD
Even gourmet cheese shops share space in the RLD
Check out Metropolitan for a sweets fix
Tattoo shops are everywhere just like the old days. Why not take home a keepsake?
The glass doors of the RLD is where ladies sell their wares.
Cool fall night in Amsterdam
One of the best places to grab a pint in the RLD
It’s a beautiful city, great photos!
Thank you much!
I walked its streets with a local once. Quite an experience to watch all the goings-on. But beware of Brits on a weekend trip there!
Haha, so true or in Prague for that matter. Stag weekends are infamous!
