Highlights

Discover the rich history of Amsterdam's Jewish community as you explore the Portuguese Synagogue, also known as the Esnoga. From the second half of the 17th century, Jews were allowed to build synagogues visible from the street, forever altering the city's landscape. Step into the candlelit halls of the synagogue, marvel at the intricate wooden carvings, and feel the sandy floor beneath your feet. Your audio guide will provide context as you walk through this architectural wonder.

Immerse yourself in the beautifully preserved interior of the Portuguese Synagogue. Experience the absence of modern heating and lighting, transporting you back to the 17th century. Learn about the significant contributions of Dutch trade, science, military, and art during this era. Discover the historical importance of the Jewish community, which accounted for 10% of Amsterdam's population until the Holocaust. The Portuguese Synagogue, once one of the city's largest buildings, is now one of only five synagogues in the world with a sand floor, designed to absorb dust, moisture, and sound.

These tickets also grant you access to the adjacent Jewish Historical Museum. Delve deeper into Amsterdam's Jewish heritage and gain a comprehensive understanding of the city's vibrant history.
