In this paper I analyse the role of prostitution to the image of the city of Amsterdam. The presence of prostitution in the city, mainly since its flourishing in the 1970s as a sex industry, was fundamental to create the image of Amsterdam as a liberal and progressive city in the international tourism market, attracting tourists interested in the Red Light District not only because of the sex work but also for the consumption of the image that was attached to it. Then I highlight the contradictions about prostitution in Amsterdam from the perspective of urbanism to demonstrate that recent actions aims at changing the city’s image. In conclusion, I show that prostitution is a constant battleground as there is a plethora of political and economic interests regarding this neighbourhood
