Cancellation with conditions
Visit the 4 historic museums of the Jewish Cultural Quarter, including the National Holocaust Museum and the Portuguese Synagogue, with your 4-in-1 ticket!
In central Amsterdam, near the Waterlooplein metro station, you'll find the former Jewish quarter of Jodenbuurt, which has now given way to the Centrum district, but is still alive and well thanks to 4 historic museum monuments.
These 4 sites are part of the Jewish Cultural Quarter (Joods Cultureel Kwartier), and retrace 4 centuries of Jewish history before, during and after the Holocaust. More than a duty of remembrance, the Jewish Cultural Quarter allows you to observe and visit Amsterdam's historic buildings while transporting you through history.
With your ticket, you'll have access to the following 4 museum monuments of the Jewish Cultural Quarter (Joods Cultureel Kwartier):
- The Jewish Historical Museum: located in Amsterdam's former Great Synagogue, the museum opened in 1932 and was forced to close during the Second World War, before reopening in 1955. It traces the history of the Jews who arrived in the Netherlands and how they settled in the province of Holland.
- Amsterdam's Portuguese Synagogue: still in use today, the Portuguese Synagogue was completed in the 17th century and in 1675 was the largest synagogue in Europe.
- The National Holocaust Museum: inaugurated in March 2024, the National Holocaust Museum is housed in a historic former school in Amsterdam. It traces the persecution of Jews during the Holocaust and their lives afterwards.
- The Hollandsche Schouwburg: originally a theater, from 1893 to 1942 it was used as a place where people of the Jewish faith were rounded up before being deported. In the aftermath of the Second World War, it became a monument to the dead, and has since been classified as a historic building and an important memorial for the city of Amsterdam.
