Highlights

Slip into the intriguing heart of Amsterdam with the Red Light Secrets Museum + Canal Cruise combo, a captivating blend of raw history and serene beauty. Begin at the Red Light Secrets Museum, nestled in a 17th-century canal house in the pulsing Red Light District. Far from the gawking crowds, this intimate museum unveils the realities of the world’s oldest profession through immersive exhibits. Sit behind a red-lit window, feel the weight of the gaze, and explore glitzy bedrooms with leopard print and S&M toys, guided by audio stories from women like Inga, a veteran of De Wallen. It’s not just a tour—it’s a thought-provoking glimpse into a legal, protected industry, revealing both its glamour and its challenges, complete with a wall of shocking visitor confessions you might dare to add to.


Then, glide through Amsterdam’s UNESCO-listed canal belt on a 1-hour cruise, marveling at the elegant gabled merchant houses and iconic bridges like the Skinny Bridge. With an audio guide in 19 languages, soak in tales of the Golden Age as you pass the Anne Frank House and Westerkerk, the city’s 100 km of waterways unfolding like a living painting. This combo ticket offers flexible scheduling—visit the museum at your booked slot and reserve your cruise time at Damrak 26 upon arrival. Located a 5-minute walk from Central Station, the museum (16+ only, no wheelchair access) and nearby Lovers Canal Cruises quay make logistics a breeze. Book now and let Amsterdam’s gritty secrets and serene canals weave an unforgettable adventure.
