Amsterdam: Red Light District Audio Tour
About this experience
Explore Amsterdam’s Red Light District at your own pace with a self-guided audio tour on your phone. Learn real stories and historical facts about one of the city’s most well-known neighborhoods.
Start at Dam Square, where a dam on the Amstel River led to the founding of Amsterdam. As you walk, the audio guide will share key moments from the city’s history.
See the Oude Kerk, Amsterdam’s oldest building, and the nearby statue “Belle,” which supports sex workers’ rights.
You’ll walk through narrow streets and alleys once used by sailors, merchants, and locals. Along the way, you’ll pass places like Café In’t Aepjen, the hidden church Ons’ Lieve Heer op Solder, and Bloedstraat.
The tour ends at Nieuwmarkt, where you’ll see the Waag building, which has served many roles over the years.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
