One of Amsterdam’s most iconic sights, the city’s world-famous red light district where sex workers pose in windows to attract passers-by, could be shuttered for good.
It could be curtains for the brothel windows of the city’s renowned De Wallen district, as the local council votes this week on whether to clean up Amsterdam’s image by forcing the red drapes - currently only shut when seeing a client - to stay closed for good.
Under the proposal window brothel curtains in the iconic tourist destination will stay shut and clients will be asked to book via a QR code on their smartphones instead of talking to the sex worker behind the glass.
