I really liked Amsterdam anyway, and with the combo tickets I bought in advance, everything went smoothly. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

The exhibition is wonderful, with immersive settings featuring many notable figures; unfortunately, some of them are closely tied to Dutch culture and therefore may not be familiar to tourists.
Overall, it’s an experience I’d recommend in any city.

The I Amsterdam City Card is very convenient—it gives you access to the city’s top attractions and lets you use public transportation without any restrictions. It’s a bit pricey for 48 hours if you don’t do at least four activities or tours.

From gruesome torture chambers to sinister court trials, you'll be transported back to the 'bad old days' like never before.
Why visit the Amsterdam Dungeon
Immersive storytelling: At the Dungeon, you don't just observe history; you become a part of it. Live actors, special effects, and elaborate sets transport you back to Amsterdam's most horrifying moments, from the Spanish Inquisition to the Black Death.
Thrilling & humorous entertainment: The Dungeon masterfully blends scares with dark humor. Expect jump scares, unexpected twists, and witty banter from the performers.

Things to know before booking Amsterdam Dungeon tickets
Types of tickets: You can choose between a standard entry ticket or combo tickets that bundle The Dungeon experience with other popular attractions like a canal cruise. Combo tickets usually offer better value if you plan to visit multiple places.
What’s included: Your standard Amsterdam Dungeon ticket includes entry to all shows and experiences inside. Some special seasonal shows may require separate tickets, but most thrills are part of the standard admission.
Combo tickets: You can bundle your Amsterdam Dungeon tickets with other top Amsterdam attractions like Madame Tussauds or a canal cruise to save money and pack more fun into your day.
Age suitability: The recommended age for visitors is 10 years and older, as the themes are gruesome, and the experience includes jump scares, dark environments, and loud noises, which can be frightening for young children or sensitive individuals.
Health warnings: The experience involves walking, standing, loud noises, flashing lights, sudden movements, and dark confined spaces. It might not be suitable for pregnant women, people with heart conditions, back problems, claustrophobia, or other serious medical conditions.

For those with hearing impairments: The Amsterdam Dungeon is not suitable for visitors with hearing impairments, as the shows rely heavily on sound effects and dialogue. There are no subtitles or sign language interpreters available.
For those with visual impairments: The Amsterdam Dungeon is not suitable for visitors with visual impairments, as the shows are dark and have sudden movements and effects. There are no audio guides or tactile maps available.
Age restrictions: Children under the age of 10 are not permitted at the Dungeon, as the shows are violent and graphic.
No touching: You are not allowed to touch the actors, the props, or the sets inside the attraction, as it will damage them and ruin the show. The actors will not touch you either unless you give them permission.
Health restrictions: The Amsterdam Dungeon is not suitable for visitors with epilepsy, as the shows have flashing lights and strobe effects.

Arrive 15 mins early: The Dungeon works on timed-entry slots. They require you to check in about 15 mins before your slot. If you’re too early, you might be asked to wait outside because there’s limited space inside the foyer.
The last show is quieter: The final slots of the day are often less crowded. Actors may play more with smaller groups, so you might get extra interaction, perfect if you’re a horror fan.
