Overview

Open daily from 11:00-17:00.
This ticket includes access to the Portuguese Synagogue, which is closed on Saturdays.

Stunning synagogues, striking buildings and impressive memorials grace the streets of Amsterdams old Jewish quarter. In the heart of the neighborhood, an area of less than one square kilometer, is the Jewish Cultural Quarter, which includes the Jewish Museum, the engaging Jewish Museum junior and the stately Portuguese Synagogue. Here visitors can find out all about Jewish culture, history and traditions.

The Jewish Museum, housed in four monumental synagogues, offers a unique look at Jewish life in the Netherlands past and present in all its complexity.
The Jewish Museum junior is set up as a Jewish family home with six rooms, where children aged 6 to 12 can play games that will teach them about Jewish culture sometimes seriously and sometimes with humour. Children can bake rolls in the kosher kitchen, learn Hebrew in the study or make music together in the music room.

Itinerary

Stop 1

Any trip to Amsterdam should include a visit to the Jewish Museum. This museum, housed in four monumental synagogues, offers a unique look at Jewish life in the Netherlands past and present in all its complexity. The museum has a large multimedia collection ranging from paintings to films and from everyday objects to 3D presentations and always offers one or two temporary exhibitions.

Stop 2

Inside the Jewish Museum is another museum, just for children! the Jewish Museum junior is set up as a Jewish family home with six rooms, where children aged 6 to 12 can play games that will teach them about Jewish culture – sometimes seriously and sometimes with humour. Children can bake rolls in the kosher kitchen, learn Hebrew in the study or make music together in the music room.

Stop 3

In the centre of the Jewish Cultural Quarter stands the magnificent Portuguese Synagogue. The building is still used as a house of worship, but it is also open to the public, and concerts are held there regularly. The 17th-century interior is still fully intact and illuminated by hundreds of candles. The other buildings in the complex include treasure chambers where visitors can admire a unique collection of ceremonial objects made of silver, gold, silk and brocade.
