As of today sex and drugs still contribute to Amsterdam's renown as this district shelters some 5,000 self-employed, tax-paying prostitutes.
Scantily clad women of all ethnicities, shapes and sizes, and the odd male and transsexual, flaunt their wares safe behind glass, occasionally popping out into the street to offer their services to the throng of dazed tourists, while live shows offer staged sex performances.
For those who just want to chill, there are bars-a-plenty; for erotica shoppers, there's merchandise to match your wickedest dreams.
