Authorities said that tours along the windows cause 'a lot of bustle in the Red Light District and are not respectful towards sex workers'.

Image: Robin Utrecht SIPA USA/PA Images Image: Robin Utrecht SIPA USA/PA Images FROM 1 JANUARY 2020, it will no longer be permitted for guided tours in the city of Amsterdam to go through the Red Light District, local authorities have said.

This includes the prohibition of free tours and recruiting participants, imposing a tax on tourists who participate in a tour, and a maximum of 15-20 on these tours. In evaluating the current exemption system, the city said that tours were still causing a nuisance for locals in Amsterdam. More than 1,000 groups pass through the Oudekerksplein square in the Red Light district every week, and anyone who offer tours illegally will liable for a fine of €190, with fines rising as high as €2,500 for companies who repeatedly break the rules.
