De Wallen is the local name for the largest and most popular red light district in the city of Amsterdam. This location is a major tourist attraction for the city and draws hundreds of thousands of travellers on an annual basis.

Amsterdam is one place where sexuality and exhibitionism is a casual part of the lifestyle. This laid back and relaxed way of life coupled with extremely effective and efficient administration of the red light districts and the safety and professionalism of the sex workers makes De Wallen the safest and most unrestricted red light areas in the world.

This district spans over several blocks and is interweaved by numerous canals. Tourists are highly recommended to check out this area even if you are not interested in availing the services and goods that are offered. Chances are you would have never have seen such sights anywhere else in the world, and I say this in the best senses.
