Amsterdam: de Wallen and Coffeeshop Tour｜Netherlands

Meet your guide, a local born and raised in the Red Light District, and set off on a journey through the neighborhood. Discover how the area developed from a harbor district and red-light area to an internationally known (and notorious) area.

Learn about prostitution, crime, drugs, poverty, entertainment, and hypocrisy, and how all these worlds have been intertwined here for centuries. This is the history of Amsterdam without a filter.

Visit several coffeeshops (without any obligation to use cannabis) and learn about the Dutch tolerance policy, the difference between tourist and local coffeeshops, and how Amsterdammers themselves deal with cannabis. Find out which places were historically important and which ones you should avoid.

Walk past iconic places such as Casa Rosso and discuss the history of sex shows, peep shows, and live theaters. Understand how this industry emerged, how it changed, and what role it played in the life of the neighborhood.

Hear about the dark side of the area's history, including exploitation, addiction, violence, police raids, and urban renewal. At the same time, learn about solidarity, neighborhood life, humor, and what it is really like to grow up here.
