The Amsterdam Dungeon is one of the many must-visit tourist attractions in the Dutch capital. If you think history is boring and burdensome, you will surely change your mind as you experience an 80-minute journey through 500 years of gruesome history in old Amsterdam.
The Amsterdam Dungeon was originally conceived as a museum of macabre history, but over time it has evolved into an interactive and original experience to be experienced first-hand and certainly in company. The attraction is made even more special by its historical location, as elements dating back to the beginning of the last century can be admired inside.
During the creation of the dungeon, various archaeological finds were unearthed: for example, 200 graves belonging to people buried many centuries ago were found under the floors of the church.
Performances with real actors, lots of special effects, sound effects, pungent smells and light effects will provide frightening entertainment that is sure to delight young and old alike.
The shows take place almost entirely in total darkness. The characters are hidden and barely visible, and they perform in English and Dutch. But even those who do not understand these languages can watch: the main attraction of the Amsterdam Dungeon is the mystery, fear and thrill of an unknown antiquity, in which you will be immersed to relive a medieval historical era.
Groups of up to 30 people can take part in walking tours, departing every 15 minutes, to watch 11 horror theatre performances staged by 9 professional actors covering 500 years of Amsterdam’s dark history in the basement of a neo-Gothic church dating back to the Dutch Reformation.
You will be immersed in this adventure from the very first moment and hear the sounds of chains, walk through the years of the plague, the torture chamber, see witches burning alive, walk through Rembrandt’s laboratory where you will witness the vivisection of human bodies, travel on a 17th century East India Company sailing ship, and much more.
The Amsterdam Dungeon also has a horror shop where you can buy various gadgets and souvenirs at the end of your visit.
