Unusual Experiences in Amsterdam

Amsterdam is high on many people’s bucket lists, thanks to its craziness, unique atmosphere, and free spirit. The city is one-of-a-kind, offering experiences you won’t find anywhere else. Beyond the usual attractions, Amsterdam also has some truly unusual activities. There’s something for everyone, no matter your taste.

Real Human Bodies

Some people find it creepy, others exciting. Body Worlds Amsterdam exhibits real, plastinated human bodies, letting you explore the mysteries of human anatomy. Surprisingly, even this eerie museum fits Amsterdam’s Happiness Projecttheme. Special events and activities run throughout the summer, offering a unique way to learn about happiness and health.

Sex Museum

For another unusual museum experience, visit the Sex Museum, located next to Body Worlds. It showcases sculptures, pictures, and objects related to human sexuality. Some exhibits might make you blush, while the overall atmosphere sparks curiosity and laughter. Combine it with Body Worlds for a full “weird museums day.”

Xtracold Icebar

Amsterdam’s coldest bar offers an unforgettable experience among 60 tons of natural ice at -10°C. Drinks are served in glasses made of ice. Don’t worry about the cold — you’ll get a thermal coat and gloves. The bar is perfect for epic photos, and few would guess it’s right in Amsterdam.

Escape Rooms

Escape rooms are popular in Amsterdam, with options for every taste:

• Sherlocked: Two (soon three) challenging rooms. Be among the first to try the new one launching June 10th.

• The Vault: Feel like a thief breaking into Amsterdam’s most secure safe. Watch out — you can get caught!

• The Architect: Explore a mysterious room once used by the secret Society of the Crossed Keys. Not easy to enter.

• Escape Through Time: Time travel during WWII with actors and puzzles at Boom Chicago.

No matter your preference — scary, funny, or history-based — Amsterdam’s escape rooms will keep you engaged and entertained.

Stay at Teleport Hotel

When visiting Amsterdam, consider staying at Teleport Hotel. It’s a comfortable and convenient base, close to major attractions, restaurants, and canals.
