Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, is the most famous adult tourism destination in Europe, with the famous red-light district of De Wallen. In the Netherlands, prostitution has been legal and regulated since 2000: the windows, brothels, and venues operate with a license. The city scene is driven by nightclubs and nightlife venues, alongside the windows of De Wallen, massage parlors, and some swinger clubs. The atmosphere is open and cosmopolitan, for which the city is famous. It is a metropolis of canals, served by trams, metro, and bicycles.

The heart of Amsterdam's offer is the nightclubs and nightlife venues, distributed between the center, Leidseplein, and Rembrandtplein. The symbol of the city remains De Wallen, the most famous red-light district in the world, with its neon-lit windows in the alleys of the historic center, where the activity is legal and regulated.
Alongside the nightclubs and windows are erotic massage parlors, by appointment, and some swinger clubs for couples and singles. The hours follow the night of Amsterdam: the venues come alive after 10 PM and go on late, with weekends being very crowded. To get around, trams, metro, and the ubiquitous bike paths cover the city; driving is uncomfortable and expensive in the center. Payment is almost everywhere by card or contactless. De Wallen remains the distinctive feature of the city scene.
