Explore the Spooky Side of Amsterdam<\/h2>\n

Halloween is fast approaching. So AESU, the most trusted name is travel, is celebrating the best way we know how: by highlighting the creepiest, crawliest, and spookiest attractions from around the world. So far we have explored the scary side of Scotland<\/a>, Budapest<\/a>, and Venice<\/a>. This week we are going to journey through the streets of Amsterdam<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The Museum of Medieval Torture Instruments<\/b><\/p>\n

The Museum of Medieval Torture Instruments, located just a few steps from the Central Station, features more than 100 artifacts: real tools and authentic torture machines, like the Iron Maiden, the Spanish Boot, and the Guillotine.<\/p>\n

The museum claims it will be \u201cAn Experience of 5 Floors you will never forget.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dam Square<\/b><\/p>\n

The center of Amsterdam, Dam Square has one of the darkest histories of the entire city. Once the location of hangings, beheadings, and witch burnings, the square saw more than 16,000 killed during the Spanish Inquisition alone. In 1945, after the German occupation of the Netherlands ended, crowds gathered in Dam Square to celebrate. Witnessing the scene, regressing German troops opened fire on the crowd, killing 20 and wounding and 119 more.<\/p>\n

Legend has it that some of these restless souls never left Dam Square\u2026<\/p>\n

Amsterdam Dungeon<\/b><\/p>\n

The Amsterdam Dungeon is a must-see attraction in Amsterdam. This 80-minute horror theater show is advertised as \u201cbringing to life 500 years of the Dutch dark history.\u201d While walking through the dungeon, you will experience short performances accompanied by sound, smell and light effects.<\/p>\n

Zuiderkerk skulls<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not every day you get to see human skulls hanging up for the world to see, but that is exactly what you get at the entrance to the Zuiderkerk graveyard. The skulls, which belong to former criminals that were publicly hanged, are said to act as a warning.<\/p>\n
