Visit the Jewish Historical Museum which was founded more than 70 years ago, but only found its definite home in the Ashkenazi Synagogue Complex in 1987. The museum gives a perfect impression of Jewish life in Amsterdam and the Netherlands.


Enjoy a guided walk through the historic Jewish area of Amsterdam. See the Hollandsche Schouwburg theater which is now a monument in memory of the 104,000 Jews who did not return to Amsterdam after World War II. During the war, only Jewish artists were allowed to perform in the Schouwburg.


You will also visit the Portuguese Synagogue, which was built in 1675 by Elias Bouman for the three congregations of Portuguese Jews who had fled to the Low Lands from persecution in their homeland.


Need to Know:

Note: Tour not available on Saturday calls or when the synagogue and museum are closed. Schouwburg is still under construction till 2024. The exterior view will depend on the stage of the renovation works.
