De Wallen, also known as Walletjes or Rosse Buurt, is a designated area for [[Prostitution in the Netherlands|legalised prostitution]] and is Amsterdam's largest and best-known [[red-light district]]. This neighbourhood has become a famous attraction for tourists. It consists of a network of canals, streets, and alleys containing several hundred small, one-room apartments rented by [[sex worker]]s who offer their services from behind a window or glass door, typically illuminated with red lights. In recent years, the city government has been closing and repurposing the famous red-light district windows in an effort to clean up the area and reduce the amount of party and sex tourism.
