Cannabis can no longer be smoked on streets, squares and canals around the Red Light District. More than 20 million visitors come to the city of around 800,000 inhabitants every year.
Pubs and bars have to close earlier in the red light district, and this also applies to the sex trade. Amsterdam is planning to close the world-famous red-lit windows and place prostitution in an "erotic center" outside the center. The city launched a "Stay Away german" campaign on social media in the UK.
