Amsterdam’s Red Light District off limits to tourist

Tourists in Amsterdam are being told to stop ogling sex workers in the infamous Red Light District.

Tour guides will have to ensure that visitors have their backs to the scantily-clad women who pose in full-length windows in brothels. How will that work?  Americans are NOT that cooperative, so we’ll see how the rest of the world responds.

The strict new rules, which come into effect in April, have been put in place by city authorities to crack down on the number of gawping tourists swarming the area.

Shouting, alcohol and drug use are also forbidden on the tours and visitors will no longer be allowed to take pictures.

Tour operators are also being ordered to tell sightseers to show respect to sex workers and residents of the red light district.

Tours must stop at 11pm and are limited to 20 people and guides who break the rules will get fined.
