From daytime to evening walking tours. Take a look inside a brothel, ask anything you want from a prostitute and get the real story! In total there are individual windows in the district located in 89 different brothels, spread over an area of 17 different streets and alleys.
On a daily base there are about prostitutes working in the area. The Oudezijds Achterburgwal alone already counts more than 90 windows, with additional windows in the connected alleyways. Behind these windows you will find a mix of mostly Eastern European prostitutes as well as some other nationalities. Around the Old Church you will find another 26 windows, which are mainly occupied by Latin-American prostitutes.
The Sint Annenkwartier is a small quarter with a network of narrow alleys with in total 45 windows. Some of the windows are even located indoors in a small passageway.
Mostly occupied by Eastern European prostitutes, the narrow alleys are perfect to sneak quickly inside for customers who want to visit a prostitute in a more discrete way. Window brothels however have to be closed down between 6 AM and 8 AM in the morning due to city regulations.
Services can range from simple oral sex to anal, threesomes, sex with couples, bdsm and kinky sex and even women are welcome with some of the prostitutes. Everything depends on the willingness of the prostitute for the services they want to provide and the price that is negotiated. Most prostitutes choose to work in the evening rather than the day time, meaning during the day a majority of the window brothels will be empty.
