16 Off the Beaten Path Attractions in Amsterdam (Updated 2025)

"Grim but educational, this museum lays out the punishments and tools used throughout history — from hanging cages and guillotines to an iron maiden and skull crusher — and provides detailed histories (including myths about medieval justice); I’d call it fascinating but recommend leaving young kids at home." - Matthew Kepnes
