The best Amsterdam experience

If you like to explore Amsterdam, this is the combi for you. The Red Light District is one of the things Amsterdam is known for around the world, though many are misinformed. This combination will make sure you have a great time in the city of Amsterdam and gives you a unique behind the scenes look at one of its iconic locations.

Visit the world's first and only museum of prostitution

Welcome to Red Light Secrets, the world's only museum of prostitution. With its location at the heart of the Red Light District, it offers a unique view behind the scenes of the hidden world of prostitution. The museum is housed in a historical 17th-century canal house, and it used to be a brothel. Learn about the history of this fascinating topic and leave Amsterdam a little more educated. Red Light Secrets is definitely a must-see, one-of-a-kind attraction!

Experience how it feels to sit behind a window where the sex workers try to appeal to passers-by and lure customers in, in the museum. While in the Red Light District you can’t take photos of the working women, in the museum photos are allowed and even encouraged. Listen to the secrets of the women themselves, their moving dreams and desires.

A short film will introduce you to the other side of the Red Light District, which is more than just the neighbourhood of paid sex. You can see the rooms the prostitutes work in and read their stories. Red Light Secrets aims to educate the public about the profession in a light-hearted, informative way, and remove the taboo and negativity generally associated with the topic. Experience the real Red Light District at the prostitution museum Amsterdam.

Go back in time with Willem Barentsz

Dutch explorer Willem Barentsz will take you back to 1596 when his ship stranded on the ice at the island Nova Zembla. For almost a year Barentsz and his crew of 16 were stranded on the island.

To help you a little, we will give you some clothes to keep you warm during the ice-cold experience. Also you will get 3 free drinks, so that your body can get back up to temperature a bit. Are you brave enough to survive the cold?
