Red Light Secrets: Museum of Prostitution Amsterdam

DamienTony_V, Sept 2026

A good informative place to visit if you arrive before 10:00 in the evening when "the windows" become occupied.

An interesting, fact filled museum in the heart of the district. Before you half way finish the second floor, you're standing at one of the illuminated windows overlooking de Wallen (the District itself). Fairly good audio feeds available in multiple languages throughout the tour.
