Jewish Quarter – Standard
1 ½ hours – €30 pp.

I would be delighted to take you on a historical walk through Amsterdam. We will trace the footsteps of history still visible in this city today. I will share stories about the city’s development and how its inhabitants have shaped it.

+ Highlights: the Ashkenazi and Portuguese Synagogues / Waterlooplein / Nieuwe Uilenburgerstraat / “Stolpersteine” / Wertheimpark & the Auschwitz Monument / the National Holocaust Museum & the Hollandsche Schouwburg / the Holocaust Names Monument

During my tour of the Jewish Quarter, I will take you on a journey through time, starting with the arrival of the first Portuguese and Spanish Jews in the neighbourhoods around today’s Waterlooplein. We will walk from the stately synagogues at Mr. Visserplein, through Uilenburg and Rapenburg, and into the 20th century. I will tell you about the history of Jewish Amsterdam, the city’s growth and prosperity, as well as my own family’s story.
