How to Spend Halloween 2020 in Amsterdam: Attractions and More

Callum Tyler by Callum Tyler
October 11, 2020 - Updated on October 23, 2020
in Halloween, Things to Do
Reading Time: 4min read

The Dutch don’t do Halloween like the rest of the west. Ask a Dutch person what they were planning to do for Halloween and don’t be surprised when they answer “We have Sint Maarten” with a sinister undertone. After a 23-minute long explanation and several diagrams, you may learn how to carve a pumpkin, but you’ll still be no closer to discovering the elusive Sint Maarten and what he did with Halloween. So what can you for Halloween 2020 in Amsterdam?

In an effort to bring All Hallow’s Eve back to the Dutch, you’ll find list of things to do this Halloween in Amsterdam (and a Sint Maarten suspect).

Sint Maarten. Possibly.

So, if lighting a lantern and going from door-to-door singing songs for sweets, or sucking the blood from innocents (we’re on to you Sint Maarten), isn’t for you, we’ve got you covered with some other ideas on how to spend Halloween 2020 in Amsterdam.

Attractions and Oddities

Visit the Amsterdam Dungeon

A dimly lit castle dungeon

Visit the spooky Amsterdam Dungeon this Halloween if you’re on the hunt for chills and thrills. The perfect mix of horrifying history, jump scares and a touch of drama the dungeons are just the ticket you need for a night of spooky fun.

The Amsterdam Dungeon holds 500 years worth of stories from Amsterdam’s dark and scary history. Learn about different torture devices, hear terrifying tales from the depths of the city’s history and try to keep your wits about you as you make your way through your tour.

Book your tickets

Learn the city’s haunted history on a ghost walk

If you’re looking for a more haunting experience for Halloween 2020 in Amsterdam, the city has its very own ghost walk and a cool October night is the perfect time to hear some of Amsterdam’s oldest tales. Expect a 90-minute wander through Amsterdam’s most frightful sights, a guide dressed in black with a cane, and make sure you book in advance to secure your spot. Sounds ominous… and frightfully delightful!

Book your ghost tour

Suspend your disbelief at Ripley’s Believe It Or Not!

If you want to see some of the world’s greatest oddities, then you can’t go wrong with Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Amsterdam. With some 500 exhibits across five floors and 19 themed galleries – including shrunken heads – it’s the perfect way to celebrate our weird world.

Book your tickets

Get your adrenaline going at Toverland Theme Park

Halloween 2020 at Toverland

Well isn’t this a treat? From 9 October–7 November, Friday and Saturday evenings from 19:00–23:00 at Toverland are Halloween Nights. Head to the theme park if the sound of five scare zones – including ancient warriors, pirates, circus performers and an enchanted ice witch, a haunted house, and a special maze set up just for Halloween – makes you want to scream with delight!

Book your tickets

Looking for more Halloween attractions in Amsterdam? We’ve got plenty of Halloween attractions and activities for you to choose from, as well as a Festival of Fright that will serve up plenty of the heebie jeebies.
