Where is Amsterdam Blue Light District?

Where bleu light district

Known as the Blue Light District, transgender sex workers are located within the city’s main Red Light District, an area also called ‘De Wallen’ which covers approximately 1 square kilometre. This district is only a short walk from Amsterdam’s Centraal Station.

However trans gender sex workers are mainly to be found in the “Barndesteeg” in day and night, in daytime in the “Bloedstraat” and only part of the Bloedstraat in the night (use Google maps). An actual separated Bleu Light District does not exist. If you are not sure, just inform politely.

How to get to the Amsterdam Light District

 

To get to Red Light District you leave Central Station at the station’s “Centrum” (Centre) exit, so that you’re opposite the trams. Walk straight ahead and cross the road. Continue for about 300 metres until you reach The Grasshopper Café. Take a left into an alley which runs parallel to the Grasshopper Steakhouse. This will lead you into Warmoe Street (or Warmoesstraat), one of the oldest streets in Amsterdam. Once there, turn right so that you’re heading in the opposite direction to the station. Taking the first turning on your left you’ll arrive at the Old Church of Amsterdam which is the central point of the Red Light District.

It’s told transgender sex workers can be distinguished because the lights in their window are blue/black/purple rather than red, however this is a myth.
