Amsterdam is known as being one of the world's most liberal cities. As the Netherlands' capital, it is a city renowned for its radical squatters and their art installations, 'smoking'cafes and open sex industry. Amsterdam's red-light district has been financially breaking sailors since the 14th century with whore houses and countless distilleries. The distilleries are gone but now prostitutes display themselves in windows under red neon lights, touts at sex theatres lure passers-by with 'live show fucky-fucky podium' and sex shops leave nothing to the imagination.
