Jewish Historical Museum and JHM Children’s Museum
Visit the Jewish Historical Museum, which is part of the Jewish Cultural Quarter in Amsterdam. Ths tour includes skip-the-line tickets so you will not have to queue to purchase tickets on the spot. Follow your Private Guide inside the museum and discover centuries of the Dutch Jewish history and heritage. The Jewish Historical Museum is the ultimate place to learn about the local Jewish community, their religious customs and traditions, relationship with Israel, as well as persecution during the Second World War. The expert commentary will help you understand these different aspects of the Jewish identity, and since it is a private tour, you can choose topics that interest you the most.
This extended tour includes entry to the Portuguese Synagogue, which is the largest and the oldest one in Amsterdam. The synagogue is an active place of worship so you will find many authentic Jewish ritual objects in there. You will also take a walk around the area and see the National Holocaust Names Monument, the Monument to Jewish Resistance, and the Spinoza Monument. Other highlights include the Rembrandt House and Gassan Diamonds, a former diamond-polishing factory where many local Jews worked as diamond cutters and polishers.
