While the Netherlands has some great punting, Amsterdam is poor. see some of these many threads on UKP.
Amsterdam
- First of all: lower your expectations immediately! Amsterdam RLD is not what it used to be. It is half the size is was five years ago and a quarter what it was 20 years ago. The windows which are left are generally on one street and only 20% occupied in the day time and 70% at night. The girls are generally attractive or very attractive and there is a certain thrill to just window shopping. In general the experience of actually getting the full service is extremely mechanical and disappointing if you’re used to punting in the Uk. Suck n fuck is usually a minimum of 100. Only a few still offer it for 50. And that’s only in the day time and not on the Main Street. Kissing is absolutely never available nor is OwO. Amsterdam is a nice place to visit but not a great punting destination. It’s still fun to explore the RLD but recommend just window shopping and then going to a Privehuis instead.
- There are three RLDs in Amsterdam – the main one (de Wallen) – basically a tourist trap these days. The other two, smaller, RLDs are used more by locals. One is on the Singel (centred on Spuistraat and Oude Nieuwstraat) – better service probably, women tend to be older, milf -types; the third RLD is further south near Ruysdaelkade.
Strip Clubs
- Banana Bar 1st lapdance is a waste, expect upselling. 2nd onwards gets real. And the place is a load of fun in the social area.
