Book the Guided Tour for Torture Chamber Access

While you can explore parts of the Prison Gate Museum (Museum de Gevangenpoort) at your own pace with an audio guide, booking an official guided tour is the only way to access the most historically significant, restricted areas. Guided groups are granted entry to the atmospheric Pijnkelder (the underground torture chamber) and specialized holding cells that remain locked to general admission visitors.

Tours are conducted in Dutch and English on select days and fill up quickly due to the narrow corridors. Reserve your tour time slot online several days in advance, especially if you are visiting on weekends or during peak holiday seasons.
