Full description
Join a 2-hour walking tour through Amsterdam with a private Spanish-speaking guide, learning about the Red Light District and Old Town from a local's perspective. Meet your guide in front of the central station of Amsterdam, from where you will discover the most important sights of the Red Light District.
The first part of the tour leads you through an old sailor's neighborhood called Zeedijk Street, as well as Amsterdam’s famous Chinatown. This part of the Red Light District used to be a no-go area, but has totally changed to a safe and friendly part of the city. In this area you will see sights such as Amsterdam’s Buddhist Temple, a famous pub titled "the Ape", and the Waag.
Following that, walk to the Old Church, the oldest building in Amsterdam. In this area you will see many things such as the narrowest street of Amsterdam, the city's first coffeeshop, an indoor prostitute street, and many smart shops. You can walk through the famous prostitute streets and learn about the history and current situation of the Red Light District, including why prostitution is legalized, and how the name "coffeeshop” was created. Finally, walk to Dam Square where your tour will conclude. When walking to this area you will see some of the last sights of the tour, such as the Condomerie and the Royal Palace.
