Red Light District
Every tourist has heard about the Red Light District prior to arriving in Amsterdam, it’s world famous! And the district (area “Oude Kerk” or Old Church) certainly lives up to its name: red lights burn in abundance. Prostitution is legalized in the Netherlands, prostitutes pay taxes and they are unionized. Word of caution … taking photographs of the ladies is forbidden and you’ll get in trouble if you try!
All that aside, the area is a very pretty part of town and worth wandering around. It’s pretty safe and the atmosphere is laid-back.

Yes, it is true, When I was in Holland in 1998, I went to meet one of my friend Mr.Lawrance who is living in Groningen. We went for shopping by walk and the same time he told that one of his (Handicap) friend would like to meet him (Lawrance) for a help, So, we went to his friends home. After the meet we walk back to Lawrance home, on the way he showed me a street that is "Red light area". I never been seen that area, so, we just walked on the street, both sides houses with glass windows and Lady(s) was sitting as show case. I had a camera on my sholder. But I did not make any picture, when a lady found that I had camera on my sholder, she shouted loudly and ask others to follow, she repeted many times. We really got annoyed, So, we turn back and walk away from the street. But We did not understand what happened and why she shouted when she saw us.
Now I understand that it is forbidden. !!
