Sexmuseum Amsterdam Venustempel

Bright but optional ending of this tour is Sexmuseum. There are mainly erotic artifacts from across the decades. Nice place to laugh and feel light-hearted, as there are some funny and creepy things. It is a very amusing way to pass an hour, so it is definitely worth a quick visit.(entrance fee not included) It will be sad to say goodbye to your guide, as this is not like an ordinary city tour. It is an opportunity to experience a very real place with someone who is more like a local friend than a guide. Enjoy authentic experience!
