- Descend into the dark, creepy, and not empty dungeons on a medieval lift. It's the starting point of the Amsterdam Dungeon.
- Take a closer look at the torture during the Middle Ages. Punishments during this dark age were notoriously creative and painful; now, you get to learn just how much that is true. Just steer clear of the Torturer, and you’ll be fine.
- Encounter the cursed captain of The Flying Dutchman. It’s been 10 years since this sinister ship disappeared, and today its captain returns from the sea with vengeance on his mind. Lucky you?
- Witness a witch burning. This grim execution was one of many ways to kill a witch, but it’s the most well-known. See the cruel fate of one such witch in the dark of the Amsterdam Dungeon.
