Description

Get to know one of Amsterdam’s most important facets on this guided tour through the Jewish Quarter, immersing yourself in World War II history, Jewish culture, and the story of Anne Frank. The tour is available in English, German, Italian, Spanish, or French.

Start at the famous Anne Frank Monument by Westerkerk, just around the corner from the Anne Frank House, and follow the moving story of Anne Frank through Amsterdam’s UNESCO-listed city centre and the historic Jewish Quarter. Along the way, you will pass the Anne Frank House and learn about the young girl whose diary has touched millions worldwide.

Anne Frank was one of many Jews forced into hiding to avoid deportation. Thousands of people were brought to concentration camps, and only very few returned. Pass by the Anne Frank House and the Portuguese Synagogue during the tour and see important memorial sites such as Stolpersteine (memorial stones), the National Monument at the Dam Square with important sights as the Royal Palace and Madame Tussauds Amsterdam, the Auschwitz Monument, and other locations that preserve the memory of the Third Reich and World War II.

Discover how Jews expelled during the Spanish Inquisition shaped Amsterdam into one of Europe’s wealthiest cities and influenced the city’s development, architecture, and culture. See why the Jodenbuurt (Jewish Quarter), next to the Old Harbour and the Redlight District, became the heart of Jewish life, including its famous Jewish Triangle. However, it was not only Jews who lived here. Non-Jews, such as the famous painter Rembrandt van Rijn, also had their homes in the heart of the Jewish Quarter.

Learn how the city’s golden age of trade helped art and creativity flourish in Amsterdam. Artists such as Rembrandt, whose works now hang in the Rijksmuseum, and Van Gogh, who has his own museum, the Van Gogh Museum, benefited greatly from the wealth generated by trade, even if not necessarily during their lifetimes. The famous Heineken brewery also grew during the city’s heyday. Today, the Heineken Experience has become an integral part of Amsterdam.

Join this tour to follow the moving story of Anne Frank, starting at her monument next to the Anne Frank House, while exploring Amsterdam’s UNESCO city centre and the historic Jodenbuurt.
