I've never had any luck with the listing on brothel-in, it's either old places referenced or whatever tourist traps in the city.

Has anyone been back since the pandemic? Reading the local forums. It seems the Dutch authorities have closed or "sold" some windows in the North West area of De Wallen. May anyone care to comment? How many windows are even left now?

I have been quite clear here that the small alleys part of the RLD is closed by now with the exception of "La vie en Rose" or just "Rose" nowadays. I actually came here to report about the decisions by our government yesterday. There won't be all that much change until November. Except for the 1. 5 meters rule. That will be abolished on September 25th. So, more people allowed in bars and restaurants but closing time will remain 00:00. Discos and night clubs are allowed to open their doors just as long as they close them before midnight. Our government seems to like a joke.

Yesterday I had some time to kill. Nice weather, walking along the Amsterdam canals. Finished at the RLD and found it to be quite different from a few weeks ago. Now "Oude Kennissteeg" and "Stoofsteeg" held quite a few beautiful ladies during the daytime. Even my favorite had returned. Couldn't resist her. Hers is the first window on the left in "Stoofsteeg" if you enter from the Canal. But there were quite a few more beauties around. OK, only two streets but if you are in Amsterdam than you could just go there and try your luck. I know I will. And it seems to me that now with the closing time staying at 00:00, till November at least, most daytime ladies will continue during the evening, till 00:00.

[QUOTE=DioRetz;2605648]Hers is the first window on the left in "Stoofsteeg" if you enter from the Canal.[/QUOTE]You always enter the Stoofsteeg coming from a canal, because there is a canal at both ends of the street, haha.

Have other streets permanently closed or are these earlier reports of window closures exaggerated?

When do night clubs and bars remain open late? November?

[QUOTE=Mogwai;2605895]You always enter the Stoofsteeg coming from a canal, because there is a canal at both ends of the street, haha.[/QUOTE]Correct. Amsterdam is so full of canals, so those are not all that helpful with directions, haha. In Dollebegijnensteeg this was quite useful and that was were she could be found a few months ago, hence the mistake. She is to be found at the first window on the left, just having passed cafe "Stoof". On holiday for 3 weeks now, by the way. Smileys not allowed, not very helpful as well.

Use google / translate and you can read everything about it. Just one extra: if you go indoors than you need a pass (E. G. Proof of Corona vaccination), outdoors you don't. Detail: if you are outdoors and want to pee indoors than you need to show your pass before peeing. Our government likes to joke around a bit. I suspect that the opening of bars after midnight might take quite a bit longer. It's not likely but if it is March '22 I would not be surprised.

[QUOTE=GuyBrusg1957;2606586]Have other streets permanently closed or are these earlier reports of window closures exaggerated?[/QUOTE]Nothing much changed. No exaggerations from my part. Just to be clear: Sint Annenstraat, Dollebegijnensteeg, Trompettersteeg, Sint Annendwarsstraat, Bethlehemsteeg and Goldbergersteeg are closed now. But with these small details. Goldbergersteeg is closed for a long time now (still don't like it). At the end of Bethlehemsteeg you have "La vie en Rose" (Rooms in an indoor area) that is still open and two rooms at the end of the alley itself. They are very far from the rest of the RLD and therefore destined to lose money only. I expect them to close sooner or later. Around the church has still windows that are open. But the streets that were once the very best of the Amsterdam RLD are closed now.

Damn, how many rooms were lost from the pandemic? But it seems there are at least 100+ Left around the city centre?

I have some great memories at la vien rose. Those windows / rooms right besides la vie en rose had some beauties in 2017 ,when I made most it.

Is la vi en rose closed? It was really good and cheap back in the day.

[QUOTE=GuyBrusg1957;2607416]Damn, how many rooms were lost from the pandemic? But it seems there are at least 100+ Left around the city centre?[/QUOTE]I think it has nothing to do with the pandemic, but only with the local government's plans to relocate the RLD.

It was really good and cheap back in the day.[/QUOTE]No it's still open but it's a lot like this one [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asterix[/URL] All of the small alleys area has been closed. The authorities have bought some of the buildings and when they ran out of money they have made an arrangement with a big insurance company (Achmea) to buy the other buildings. Well, they have a high bargaining power but one guy seems to simply not give in. So for that reason 'La vie en rose' still has rooms with girls. The girls there actually are better looking than before (was there only a few weeks ago). It's just that you have to walk all down the alley of Bethlehemsteeg to find two rooms at the end, then hop in to 'La vie en Rose' and have five more girls or so. If you don't like them you have to go all the way back to 'Oude Kennissteeg' to find other girls. Not many men will do that. So it's destined to peter out.

[QUOTE=Mogwai;2608188]I think it has nothing to do with the pandemic, but only with the local government's plans to relocate the RLD.[/QUOTE]So true. I think there's still about 150-200 rooms available. Maybe 50 at the Ruysdaelkade and some 100-150 around the Singel. Still a lot, but the heart has gone.

Do you think that escorting will die out in the Netherlands after this or just move online?
