Secrets of Amsterdam’s Red Light District
Red Light Secrets is the world’s first and only Museum of Prostitution, located in the heart of Amsterdam’s famous Red Light District. Housed in a historic 17th-century canal house, this unique museum offers an eye-opening and informative look into the world’s oldest profession.
Step behind the scenes and discover the realities of sex work through first-hand stories from the women who work there. The museum provides an honest, respectful insight into a profession that has shaped this historic neighbourhood for centuries, making it one of Amsterdam’s most thought-provoking attractions.
What to expect from the Museum of Prostitution
A visit to the Prostitution Museum Amsterdam offers a rare opportunity to learn about life behind the iconic red-lit windows. You’ll even be able to sit behind one yourself and experience what it feels like to view the world from the perspective of a sex worker trying to attract passers-by.
Throughout the museum, you’ll hear personal accounts and stories that shed light on the realities of the profession. Unlike elsewhere in the Red Light District, photography is allowed and encouraged, giving you the chance to capture this unique experience.
Red Light Secrets aims to educate and inform in a light-hearted yet respectful way, helping to remove the stigma and misconceptions often associated with sex work. You’ll learn about the history of the Red Light District, how it operates today, and what a typical day in the life of a working girl looks like.
A visit to Amsterdam’s historic city centre wouldn’t be complete without experiencing this museum. Known worldwide for its open-minded culture and progressive attitudes, Amsterdam offers a rare opportunity to explore topics that are often considered taboo elsewhere.
Discover the truth behind the red lights and experience this fascinating world first-hand at Red Light Secrets, a truly unique Amsterdam attraction.

Group Booking
For groups of 8 or more, please submit a group inquiry at booking@activity-crest.com. While discounted rates are not available for all tours, selected tours may qualify for special group pricing.

Hop On Hop Off Bus Tours:
Due to the operational nature of hop-on hop-off bus tours and fluctuating daily demand, we cannot guarantee that all members of a group will be accommodated on the same bus at the same time. Seat availability varies by stop and service demand, and groups may be required to split across multiple buses and/or wait for subsequent departures.
All group members must redeem their vouchers together initially. Once redeemed, individual tickets will be issued, allowing travellers the flexibility to explore independently thereafter. The requirement to remain together applies only during the voucher redemption process when tickets are booked under a single reservation.
As we are unable to guarantee that larger groups can travel together as one unit, bookings will be divided into smaller groups of approximately 5-7 passengers per ticket allocation, depending on the overall group size.
