To visit Amsterdam and not explore De Wallen (the
Dutch name for this area) or to go only to gawk at its
saucier aspects would mean missing the opportunity to
view some of the city’s most picturesque canals,
historic landmarks, and impeccably presented examples
of traditional local architecture – not to mention
Amsterdam’s own Chinatown, Europe’s largest Buddhist
temple and more local treasures. Sure, there are some
...More
less salubrious activities drawing the curious to this
age-old part of time. Nevertheless, the Red Light
District is still a very safe and incredibly
fascinating area where at the turn of a corner you can
be transported from the dingy glow of modern day neon
red to a glorious 16th century Delft blue dreamscape.
