Activity itinerary

Waterlooplein Market (Pass by)
The first eerie tales are set around Waterloo Square.
Oudeschans (Pass by)
In 1833 crowds gathered for days to see ghost appearances. What were they really witnessing — trickery, rumor, or mass imagination?
Nieuwmarkt (Pass by)
At the Nieuwmarkt we recount the story of a woman accused of witchcraft in 1624, while also exploring the history behind the nearby ‘Blood Street’ and what its name tells us about the city’s past.
Kloveniersburgwal, Amsterdam (Pass by)
Step into the past as we explore one of the city’s oldest streets, with historic landmarks like the Spinhuis and the Trippenhuis.
Zeedijk (Pass by)
Walking along the Zeedijk, we encounter three tales of Amsterdam’s colorful and mysterious past: Ghost Alley, sailor's café ‘In ’t Aepjen’ and the "Weeping Tower".
Damrak (Pass by)
Near Central Station, we uncover the odd grandeur of a historic hotel and step into one of Rembrandt's drawing, where a mysterious woman is depicted on the gallows fields — her identity has been a mystery for centuries.
Warmoesstraat (Pass by)
Warmoesstraat has seen centuries of history: from bustling markets to shady deals, this street tells the story of Amsterdam’s vibrant and sometimes scandalous past.
Dam Square (Pass by)
Here at Dam Square, history and legend meet: from the square’s impressive architecture and central role in Amsterdam’s past, to the story of a notorious con artist whose schemes once captivated the city.
