A red-light district is a part of an urban area where there is a concentration of prostitution and sex-orientated businesses, such as sex shops, strip clubs, adult theaters, etc. The term originates from the red lights that were used as signs of brothels. The most well known red-light district is probably De Wallen in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The countries most often associated with red-light districts and prostitution are Netherlands and Thailand, but there are areas in many big cities around the world which have acquired international reputation as red-light districts, though usually without official recognition and often with official disapproval.
