Condomerie Amsterdam: A Unique Shop in the Red Light District
Condomerie on Google Maps
Condomerie Amsterdam is a unique condom shop in the city's Red Light District. It is both a place to find a suitable condom and a distinctive source of souvenirs, with friendly staff trained to answer questions and offer condom advice.
The shop's unusual character comes from combining practical help with a wide-ranging, openly displayed collection. If you are looking for something beyond Amsterdam's standard sightseeing stops, Condomerie's official site introduces the shop and its purpose.
What is Condomerie in Amsterdam?
Condomerie is a specialist shop in Amsterdam's Red Light District where visitors can look for condoms, ask for advice and find souvenirs. The staff is trained to give condom advice, so questions about the options available in the store are part of what the shop provides.
That makes Condomerie more than a place organised around a single product. Its stated appeal includes both finding a suitable condom and browsing a collection unusual enough to make the shop a memorable stop in Amsterdam.
Why is Condomerie a notable place to visit?
Condomerie dates back to 1987 and was the first condom specialty shop in the world. One of its aims was to break the taboo around buying and selling condoms.
That history gives the shop a specific cultural role in the Red Light District. Its purpose is not simply to sell condoms, but also to make an otherwise awkward subject more open and approachable. The Red Light District Amsterdam Tour uses Condomerie's history as one of its place-specific stops.
What can you find at Condomerie?
Condomerie stocks condoms in different sizes, colors, shapes, smells and tastes. The range includes 35 different sizes, and the shop organises its entire collection by size in a measurement system.
The shop also provides advice about the possibilities available in store. Visitors can receive a centimeter to measure, and measuring in the store does not mean putting anything on a table. The source also explains that the penis can be measured through the website by length and circumference, in an erect state.
This measurement-based organisation is one of the shop's most practical details: rather than leaving size as an indistinct choice, Condomerie presents its range according to measurements and offers help with understanding the options.
Where does Condomerie fit into an Amsterdam visit?
Condomerie is situated in Amsterdam's Red Light District and appears as the first stop of 14 on the Red Light District Amsterdam Tour. If you want to encounter the shop as part of an interactive walk rather than visit it as an isolated address, explore the Amsterdam Red Light District route.
For an independent explorer, Condomerie offers a focused stop with a clear identity: a 1987 specialist shop, a world-first claim, a collection arranged by size and staff ready to answer questions. That combination is what makes it distinctive within the Red Light District.
