Because prostitution is legal, it is regulated by the government's department of public health. This means that all the girls are required by law to be tested periodically for STDs. In addition, they are required to make all their clients use condoms as a safety precaution. From the prostitutes to the many bars and that rich history of San Nicolas Aruba.

Prostitution in the Dutch Caribbean, Aruba
Prostitution in Aruba started to expand when oil refineries were opened on the island in the 1920s. In 1928, the Government set up a regulated area of prostitution (red-light district) in the oil refining town of Sint Nicolaas. Regulations started during the 1950s allowed women to work for up to 3 months as "nightclub hostesses" in the bars and clubs of Sint Nicolaas' red-light district.
We offer the best rated Red Light District tours, private tours, sex worker guided tours and exclusive behind the scenes tours on a daily base both day and nighttime. Our local guides are also local residents of the Red Light District, and have a vast knowledge about this neighborhood.
