The Amsterdam Dungeon + Amsterdam Canal Cruise

Two sides of history

The Amsterdam Dungeon is an unique experience full of thrill, part high-tech haunted house, part high stakes live show. The Dungeon uses professional stage actors and state-of-the-art special effects to recreate Amsterdam’s past in all its gore, intrigue, drama, and passion.

Journey through 500 action-packed years of the city’s history before, or after, you cruise through the UNESCO World Heritage-listed waterways. Save time and money by combining these unforgettable experiences in the Dutch capital.

Fun and thrills at the Amsterdam Dungeon

Burning witches, gory amputations, murderous daughters, and bloody anatomy lessons – the Amsterdam Dungeon has it all. All of it make the Dungeon one of the capital’s wildest and most hilarious attractions.

Located in an atmospheric old church in the heart of Amsterdam, the Dungeon uses theatre and special effects to titillate and educate viewers about the city. With 7 different shows all meticulously scripted and staged to evoke the past, this 80-minute show invites visitors to venture through a variety of ‘dungeons.’

Laugh, scream and get involved as you wander through labyrinths, assist with an autopsy, and hop onboard an old ship. No tour is ever the same because you form part of the experience. The Amsterdam Dungeon is one of the city’s most popular and best-rated attractions. Best of all, it’s just downright frightfully fun.

Experience Amsterdam from a different perspective 

A canal cruise is the perfect addition to a trip to the Amsterdam Dungeon. During the one hour-long cruise, you’ll discover the beautiful canal belt of the ‘Venice of the North.’ The Amsterdam canal cruise is truly one of the city’s highlights. No wonder that the 100km-long canal belt is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site!

Marvel at the three most famous canals of the city, the Keizersgracht, Prinsengracht, and Herengracht, alongside which wealthy spice merchants constructed grand houses during the Dutch Golden Age. A cruise on a canal boat is significantly enriched by an audio guide, in 19 languages, packed with fascinating information about the city’s history.
