Curious what the world’s first 5D porn cinema is actually like? Here’s the short, honest version before you decide whether to go.
The porn cinema is making a comeback in Amsterdam with the opening of the world’s first 5D porn cinema — covered by Vice and NL Times. It sits in the heart of the Red Light District at Oudekerksplein (the Old Church Square).
This new porn cinema is an experience for all your senses. Inside the theatre you watch an X-rated film in 3D, with sensory effects — water, wind, bubbles, lights and even snow — that all sync up perfectly with the on-screen action.

Newest “Sex” Show In Amsterdam
The movie was produced in collaboration with Holland’s most famous porn actress Kim Holland. A variety of porn actresses are featured in the movie. But the movie isn’t just about sex. It actually has a cool storyline as well. The 5D Amsterdam porn cinema delivers a 6-minute wild ride through Amsterdam Red Light District.
The movie starts of with a guy who’s visiting Amsterdam but ends up experiencing the Red Light District in funny and sexy way, for men and women! Area highlights include the famous Banana Bar, Casa Rosso and of course the red-lit window brothels. There’s a lot of humor in the movie too. The cinema has noticed that the women also really enjoy the experience. They believe it’s because it’s not just about guys going somewhere to just do ‘’their” thing’.
With the arrival of 5D Porn there is ones again a sex cinema in the City of Amsterdam. In the previous Sex Cinema Venus on the Old Church Square, owner Ton displayed erotic films on super eight for 30 years, an improved image projection that eventually became the standard for films from the 1970s. Because of “the cleaning up” of the Red Light District, Venus was sadly forced to close.
Luckily there is now a new, modern version in town which fits the Red Light District perfectly. We’d definitely recommend going here if you’re looking for a fun day or night out in Amsterdam’s most exciting area. Pair it with our things to do in Amsterdam for a day.
