The influence of the Jewish community in Amsterdam cannot be underestimated. Following religious persecution in Spain and Portugal waves of migration came to the relatively tolerant Amsterdam in the early 17th century, forever changing the landscape of the city.
This tour traces the rise of the Jewish community, their influence on the city, the local perceptions over time, and how the community was all but wiped out by the horrors of Nazism.
Our expert guides have crafted a unique tour, that goes beyond the usual sites, and includes a visit to the cellar in which a man hid 17 Jews during the Second World War and wrote about it in his unpublished diary.
The meeting point is in front of the Portuguese Synagoge, Mr Visserplein 3
