Street Red Lanterns - the main attraction of Holland

There are places in the world that every person knows about. Of course, not everywhere and not everyone has the opportunity to visit there, but, as they say, rumors are filled with earth. Such well-known places include, for example, the Louvre, the Coliseum, the Hermitage, the Moulin Rouge or ... The Street of the Red Lanterns. That's the last we'll talk.

In school, history lessons, or the MHC, unlike the Louvre, they do not talk about it, but nevertheless there are few adults who would not want to look at this sight in secret. Where is the street of the Red Lanterns? In the capital of the Netherlands - Amsterdam, in the center of its old part. In fact, it's not just one street, but a whole area, covering an area of 6500 square meters. Kilometers. Why is this place so interesting for all tourists and residents of the city? The fact is that, walking along these streets, you can fully enjoy not only the contemplation of the delightful medieval architecture, but also get bodily satisfaction, using the services of one of the many "night butterflies", playfully demonstrating their charms in so-called show-windows - in the windows , Lit by red lamps.

Why exactly the Red Light Street? Why not green, yellow or blue? Red color became symbolic for prostitution in the 14th century. Then Amsterdam was a small port village, where a lot of merchants and sailors always walked. For them worked taverns and gambling houses, and ladies of easy virtue for a fee were ready to caress travelers who for a long journey have become unaccustomed to communicating with a woman. On electricity in those distant times it was impossible to dream, and so the streets were dark. Walking companies or hurrying home matrons lit their way with candles. And it so happened sometimes that drunken sailors sometimes confused pious townspeople with girls offering love for money. That's why the authorities forced prostitutes to use red lights so that men knew who to approach, and whose honor fathers, brothers or husbands strictly follow. Since then, red color has fixed itself with "night butterflies", and the Dutch authorities gave them a whole block for their hard work. By the way, until now, prostitution here is legalized, and girls pay tax to the state.

What is the street of the Red Lanterns in Holland today? On it there is a lot of one-room premises, leasing to girls of easy behavior. Walking around this quarter, at any time of the day, you can see these "sex workers" in the lit windows. They sit on high bar stools, flirt with passers-by, smile, wink or drink coffee and read magazines. Customers can choose the "product" for every taste: passionate Asians, sophisticated European women, hot Africans, thin and fat, very young and quite mature. The cost of their services is also different. If the girl pulled the curtain, then it is busy, and knocking on it makes no sense. It is worth noting that not only girls work in the Quarter, but also men and transvestites.

In addition to a friend for the night or an hour, lovers of voluptuous entertainment can find in the Red Light District also sex shops, peep shows, porn theaters, Hashish Museum and Erotic Museum.
