The neighbourhood of Vinkeveen, which covers the town of Vinkeveen and the neighbouring hamlet of Achterbos, has about 8400 inhabitants.

Vinkeveen used to be a separate municipality. It merged with Waverveen in 1841, to form the municipality Vinkeveen en Waverveen. In 1989 there was a reorganisation of local governments, and Vinkeveen became a part of De Ronde Venen.
Vinkeveen is mainly famous for the Vinkeveense Plassen, a lake area east of the village. They are an important recreational area, with facilities for swimming, diving and yachting. There is a marina on the north shore of the lakes.

Dark Amsterdam - Walking Tour of The Red Light District 2 hours

The

Take a walk on the wild side with a guided walking tour through "Dark Amsterdam" which can be rather illuminating!

The walk starts at the Prostitute Information Center, where you will be offered a drink and can chat with a former prostitute who will explain the system and answer any questions you have.

Continue to the "Wallen" (Red Light District) one of the most interesting parts of the tour. You will be able to see for yourself the oldest profession of the world.

The tour continues passing monuments and through the old narrow streets, one of which is the well known "Zeedijk" street. In the past it was one of the most dangerous streets in Amsterdam, where sailors could be found searching for local amusement. Nowadays, because of the disappearance of the harbor, you can find lively Dutch pubs and restaurants (certainly not dangerous anymore), instead of the shady bars of yester-year.

Your safety is guaranteed during this excursion, as a reliable and trustworthy guide will be accompanying you.
