Good to know
Anytime is the best time to visit Amsterdam Body Worlds! It’s an indoor, climate-controlled facility. But, if weather is still important to you, then a summertime Amsterdam trip probably makes the most sense. However, like most destinations in Europe, Amsterdam becomes the most crowded between June and August. If you’d like to avoid the tourist hordes, then try booking your Amsterdam vacation for April, May, or September. These months represent the ideal shoulder seasons, providing decent weather and far less crowding than summer. Winter can be quite chilly; and, many of the shops and stalls that cater to tourists pack up until spring. The best time to visit Amsterdam Body Worlds on a given day is either right when the doors open or shortly before closing time. But, if you plan on visiting in the evening, make sure you give yourself enough time to enjoy all exhibits. Being forced to rush through the various displays at Body Worlds is one of the most disappointing things to do in Amsterdam!
Getting to Amsterdam Body Worlds in City Centre is a snap! Amsterdam is home to a variety of transportation options; so you’ll find a bunch of different ways to get there. If you’re taking the tram, the nearest tram stop is Dam/De Bijenkorf, which services trams 4, 9, 16, and 24. From that stop, it’s just about a 1-minute walk to Amsterdam Body Worlds. Another option, the Dam stop by Magna Plaza, services trams 1, 2, 5, 13, 14, and 17. If you alight at the Dam stop, you’ll need to walk for nearly 5 minutes to arrive at Body Worlds. Individuals who have rented a car can park at Park De Bijenkorf at Beursplein 15 or Park de Kolk at Nieuwezijds Kolk 18. Taxis represent a rather comfortable and efficient way to get to Amsterdam Body Worlds. But, it’s one of the most expensive ways to get around Amsterdam. Cycling is a very popular mode of transportation in the city. From Amsterdam Central Station, it’s just a two minute ride straight over the Damrak and Amsterdam Body Worlds will be on your right. Pedaling around town is what to do in Amsterdam if you want to get around like a local.

• Famously, a giraffe specimen took over 3 years to plastinate at Von Hagens China laboratory.It weighs almost exactly the same as did when it was alive.
• In 2011, Gunter von Hagens suggested he plans to have his own body plastinated and exhibited around the globe!
