HALLOWEEN IN AMSTERDAM

Not in the mood for a big and extravagant Halloween party? Or want to celebrate Halloween but don't feel like dressing up? Our affiliated clubs also organise club nights with a Halloween theme! The Amsterdam Nightlife Ticket gives you access to more than 30 Amsterdam nightclubs. The programme is not yet fully known, but keep an eye on the Special Events Agenda and socials for more updates.

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.
