This area in the oldest part of Amsterdam is known for the red neon windows that display barely-dressed prostitutes advertising their services; it's all perfectly acceptable as long as it stays inside this designated area of the city.

This is fabulous to see and explore, we as a couple felt safe everywhere, the ladies do not allow any pics at all even selfies in the area, it is very busy, best to go after dark for full effect, deffo visit the museums there as they are fab, the €2 peep shows are also a must, visit the banana bar for an eye opener and the bulldog for a drink to sit and watch it all go by, it's a must when you go to Amsterdam.

Excellent location to visit! We took a metro from Wibaustraat to here every day during our visit because we loved the sites in the area and walking through this square was wonderful. It has a fantastic array of pubs and cafes as well as being close to the red light district and Dam Square. It is fairly quiet considering it’s locality to these popular tourist spots. Beautiful both day and night- stop by Nieumarkt you won’t be disappointed.
10. Thorbeckeplein
