Description

Priests and prostitutes. Faith, religion, and sin have coexisted for centuries in Amsterdam's De Wallen district. Visited by millions of tourists, the red-light district hides fascinating relics of medieval Amsterdam, but in many cases, they remain hidden. Nowadays, most of the former monasteries and churches have a secular function, but they're still masterpieces of religious architecture. During our tour, we'll explore the two distinctly different sides of this quarter and try to give you a better understanding of the Dutch people's particular attitude to prostitution.
