This is the best part in my opinion:

Moving the red light district is Amsterdam’s latest effort to transform its image as a party capital. It has also launched a “stay away” campaign to discourage stag nights and boozy tourists, which caused a stir in Britain after the council said it would start by targeting British men aged 18 to 35.

How would a "stay away" campaign have looked like? Oi! British lads between 18 and 35! Don't come to De Wallen. There is nothing to be seen! Only young women in lingerie, that offer you sexual favours for money! And pubs! Lots of pubs! So please stay away! :(

It looks like this

Coming to Amsterdam for a messy night?

+ getting trashed

= 140 euro fine

+ criminal record

= fewer prospects

So coming to Amsterdam for a messy night?

Stay away

I love how you can hear the Dutch accent oozing off of the text.
