The 5D Porn Cinema in Amsterdam is permanently closed
The operator confirmed to us in October 2026 that the cinema has stopped. Tickets are no longer sold. This page stays online as a record of what the 5D cinema was.
The best alternative in the Red Light District is a live show at Moulin Rouge Amsterdam, a short walk from the old 5D location.

What was Amsterdam’s 5D porn cinema?
The world’s first 5D porn cinema closed for good in 2026. This is what the experience was like while it was open.
In 2019 the porn cinema made a comeback in Amsterdam with the opening of the world’s first 5D porn cinema — covered by Vice and NL Times. It sat in the heart of the Red Light District at Oudekerksplein (the Old Church Square).
The cinema was an experience for all your senses. Inside the theatre you watched an X-rated film in 3D, with sensory effects — water, wind, bubbles, lights and even snow — synced 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 was once 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.
For a few years this modern version was a popular quick stop in the Red Light District. It has since closed for good. For ideas on what to do instead, see our things to do in Amsterdam for a day.
