The story behind the Amsterdam Dungeon
The Amsterdam Dungeon opened in 2006 in a historic building on the Rokin. Inspired by the famous Dungeons in London and Berlin, a place where history meets theater was also created in Amsterdam. Since then, the attraction has become one of the city’s most popular attractions. The Dungeon is part of an international concept known for its mix of horror, humor and history. Like its branches in London, Edinburgh and Berlin, the Dutch version offers a unique local twist. This makes it not just another Amsterdam horror attraction, but a theater experience that creatively reflects the city.
Behind each room is a piece of the 500 years of Amsterdam – told with excitement, humor and spectacle. The combination of historical facts and compelling storytelling makes the Visit Amsterdam Dungeon experience both educational and unforgettable.
