Although Halloween is not officially celebrated in Amsterdam, there are numerous locations and venues hosting great events both during the day and at night. So there are many interesting places to visit during the day in the hours before the crazy parties begin.
Amsterdam Dungeon
Although Amsterdam Dungeon is open all year round, there is no better time to visit than Halloween. It is a simultaneously terrifying and funny experience that takes you through the entire history of the Netherlands.
During the 80-minute show, you go through 12 separate acts with a total of seven actors, in which you experience the Black Death, the Spanish Inquisition and the Middle Ages. The simplest way to explain it is as a lifelike 4D experience - the shows are performed in complete darkness with the addition of sound and light effects and even scent effects.
However, this attraction will not be suitable for people who cannot stand dark humour, as there is quite a bit of it in the 12 shows. However, it is perfect for people with a genuine interest in horror and real disastrous events from the past.
The Ghost Walk
A city with such a diverse and mysterious history as Amsterdam is certain to have a few haunted locations, right? If ghost stories and dark places are your thing, then you should definitely visit Amsterdam's Ghost Walk.
Although a ghost walk/tour sounds like something you usually watch on YouTube, we can assure you that this activity is of high professional standard and introduces you to many old legends and facts about Amsterdam's dark history.
However, there are too many legends and stories to fit into a single tour. Therefore, here is a simple fun tip: Search for curious myths and ghost stories in advance and prepare for the tour. That way, you will have a bigger share in the walk and can ask extra questions.
Halloween Parties, Dress Codes & VIP Club Nights
Halloween in Amsterdam has grown into one of the autumn season's most vibrant and thrilling nightlife peaks. During the final weekend of October, the nightlife districts around Leidseplein and Rembrandtplein transform into an immersive spectacle of elaborate costumes, dramatic light shows, and world-class DJ performances. Venues across the city roll out elaborate theme nights, ranging from haunted house parties to glamorous masquerade balls.
Proper planning is key to getting the most out of Halloween weekend. Most major clubs enforce a strict costume or themed dress code, making creative outfits part of the experience and often essential for smooth door entry. Given the massive surge in demand every year, iconic venues like Supperclub, Chicago Social Club, and Club Prime reach capacity quickly. Buy your Nightlife Ticket well in advance to secure your entry and enjoy complimentary welcome drinks upon arrival.
