Description

Listen to spine-chilling tales of Amsterdam's past on this spooky tour, starting at Dam Square. Head to your first stop, the Nieuwe Kerk, where the echoes of royal ceremonies mingle with whispers of restless spirits. Learn about the crypts and vaults where notable figures lie in eternal slumber.

As dusk descends, venture to the heart of the city to uncover the ghostly secrets of the Spinhuis, a former women's prison steeped in sorrow and despair. Feel the weight of centuries-old anguish as you stand amidst the echoes of tormented souls, forever trapped within its walls.

Next, tread cautiously into the Begijnhof, a tranquil courtyard hiding a tragic tale of a nun condemned to wander in silence for breaking her vows. Listen closely to the faint echoes of her footsteps as we unravel the mysteries of her eternal penance.

Then, see your journey take a darker turn as you step into the infamous Blood Street, where the cobblestones bear witness to centuries of violence and despair. Prepare to be gripped by tales of murder and mayhem as you navigate the shadows of this haunted alleyway.

Your final stop brings you to the Purgatory of the Waag, where the echoes of scientific curiosity mingle with the restless souls of those dissected within its walls. Dive into the morbid fascination of the Age of Enlightenment as you confront the ghosts trapped within this eerie landmark.

As your tour reaches its conclusion, reflect on the chilling tales and spectral encounters that have brought Amsterdam's haunted history to life.
