6. Spend the night in a hidden chapel in Amsterdam
This is probably one of the most special overnight stays on Vipio. This hidden chapel was built in 1751 as a Roman Catholic church.

Therefore, this type of hidden church was built so that people could still practice their faith in secret. The church has been converted into a place for a few holy nights. The large double bed is right under the altar making your overnight stay a truly unique experience. The church is close to the sights of Amsterdam and the church is all to yourself during your stay.
