Amsterdam Red Light District Etiquette
You might wonder if it’s allowed to take pictures in the Red Light District. The answer is yes! You can photograph all the beautiful buildings, streets and sights in the area.
However we wouldn’t recommend taking pictures of the sex workers. They don’t want to be photographed. They have their own reasons for that. Most of the sex workers do not want to be photographed because they don’t tell friends, relatives and acquaintances that they do this kind of work.
Our local guides know the best places in Amsterdam’s Red Light District for taking pictures.
