The bike is the favorite means of transportation in Amsterdam. And renting a bike is an excellent way to discover the city. You can go on your own or go in groups with a guide.
You can rent a bike at various locations throughout the city. 
Make a city tour through Amsterdam with an open top red bus with a glass rooftop. The rooftop can be opened up and provides you with a panoramic view over the streets, canals and squares of the Dutch capital. See the well known sights as well as the hidden treasures of Amsterdam, like the old wind mill, Artis Zoo, the prestigious Amstel Hotel, the Rijksmuseum, the Wester church, de Mint tower, the Dam square and a lot more.
It is ok to take pictures but not of the girls. Most girls hate it when people take photo's of them.
Don't be surprised if they come after you (or their pimps) and you will not be the first whose camera ends up in the canal after attempting to take pictures of the girls.
In and around Amsterdam are a few swinger clubs but not in the red light district. Two well known swinger clubs are Fata Morgana and Paradise .
The average price is 50 euro for about 15-20 minutes of sex. If you want special things of more time the price goes up. Make sure you agree on the price before you start. During the "act" you don't have much of a negotiating position anymore. If sex is offered for less than 50 euro start to worry what is wrong. For the rest... enjoy the ride.
The red light area in the center of Amsterdam, where shemales can be found.
In the red light district, the girls have sex with man. If you, as a woman, want to have sex with a girl then the best is to invite an escort girl to your hotel.
The Red Light district is pretty safe as long as you're not stupid and venture into unlit areas or away from the obvious walkways. Stay with the other tourists, don't wear jewellery, don't use shoulder bags, don't put wallets in your back pockets and don't do anything that will make you stand out in a crowd. All things you would tell someone if it was their first trip to London, Paris etc. Careful of pickpockets around the train station, Dam Square especially but basically anywhere. And be careful with taking pictures. If you insist on taking photos in the Red Light District then do it discretely and don't take photo's of the working girls directly, they don't appreciate it.
Testing for STD/Aids is voluntary. So, although it is not common, you cannot be sure the girls are free of STD's. So for your own protection make sure you use a condom and practice safe sex. It is common practice that the girls provide and use condoms.
It is tried out a few times to have male prostitutes alongside the girls but it wasn't a succes. They got a lot of attention but no customers so the experiment was stopped. There are male prostitutes working for escort agencies though.
Well, as long as men are willing to pay for the services of the girls, sex will not be for free. And then again, there is nothing against them enjoying their work. It increases the fun for the guys as well.
Because you want to have seen this. A major tourist attraction tucked away in the heart of Amsterdam, it's essentially a series of tiny alleys criss-crossed by canals in the oldest part of Amsterdam, with around 300 tiny booths or cabins lining the streets, each with at least one prosititute a piece.Because it is legal. Yes sir it is sir, with both prostitution and owning a brothel being allowed by the government – so nothing to worry about. Legally, that is...
Because it is special. That'll be the ability to buy sexual services and smoke marijuana, sir. Besides your regular sex shops, theatres and peep shows, there's also a cannabis museum. And sex museum too, if you're interested – which, if you're wondering around De Wallen, you probably are.
An infamous location worth visiting: Cassa Rosso on the Achterburgwal is well worth a visit (look out for its logo, a giant pink elephant standing up wearing a tie). For €50 you can look forward to a 'couple show', a
The minimum age for entering a coffee shop where they sell soft drugs is 18.
There is no age restriction. It is up to the girls if they accept you as a cliënt or not. They will not accept kids though.

Girls in the red light district will not come to your hotel however you can invite an escort girl to come to you hotel.
During the day, riding a beerbike with your friends is good fun.
A good place to eat with a group is Haesje Claes, 10 minutes walking from the red light district.
You will see policemen patrolling the streets in the Red Light District and they are there for your protection. They will not bother you because it is legal to go to prostitutes in the Netherlands.

If you had a good time with the girl you can give a tip but it is not necessary. The finances are settled before the "act" and once you paid, you don't have to worry about money anymore and can just enjoy. That is unless you change your mind about the service you want (more time, more positions ect.). You then have to pay extra in between.
The girls start working around 10 am. There will be girls available as long as there are customers. Around 2 or 3 am it starts to quiet down (later during the weekend).
