What are the do's and don'ts for the red light district in amsterdam?

Travel Tips
DO visit the prostitute information center and participate in a walking tour of the RLD

DO watch your wallet

DO spend time in chinatown (street just at the top of the RLD) and eat some awesome dimsum (Eat Mode is a good place...just across from the buddist temple on the Zeedijk)

DON'T waste your money on a hooker...keep in mind that some are not what they seem and are not obligated to say so until they are paid

DON'T take pictures...many of the girls in the windows don't want to risk being seen by people they care about...some even have people that will chase after you and break you camera.

DON'T make eye contact w/ the creepy bums...most will leave you alone if you don't acknowlege them but if you do be ready for a hassle. Oh and if you hear "Charlie" that's code of cocaine.

DON'T think that's all Amsterdam has to offer. There's so much more to this beautiful city than sex and drugs. Source(s): 2yr resident of Amsterdam

Other Travel Tips
DO - wear a condom so you DONT - get syphilis
Don't go there. There's nothing to see. Ugly people, leering tourists and Dutchmen, African and middle eastern dope peddlers, deficient looking Americans, played out whores in windows, and a general air of ' I need a life.'
Do take lots of cash, don't be upset when you realize how much you wasted!

The red light district of Amsterdam is a very popular tourist area, you will find couples walking along, groups of men and women together as you will groups of guys out on a bachelor party.

1. The coffee shops: if it's empty don't go in. For first time smokers in europe: ask for advice on your order they will be happy to let you try a bit.

2. There are lots of men selling drugs on the streets, you name it they have it. Be careful if you do buy from them don't show them your money they will follow you and rob you!

3. The sex industry : they have hygiene laws to respect, so don't go to back road house that is the only one in the road, go where the crowds are.

4. The crowds , yes the area is quite crowded, so be careful of your wallet
