Amsterdam Jewish District Tour
On this private tour in the Amsterdam Jewish district you learn about more than 400 years of Judaism in the city. Since the 16th century Amsterdam has housed a huge Jewish community. Let a local guide explain why the Jewish community called Amsterdam their ‘New Jerusalem’.
Jewish Legacy
How did World War II affect the Jewish district and what is left of the Jewish heritage today, like the Yiddish language and the typical Jewish sense of humor? Get the answers on the Amsterdam Jewish District Tour.
