360 Amsterdam · Jewish Cultural Quarter
A guided Anne Frank walking tour and a Jewish Cultural Quarter ticket in one booking: the Jewish Museum, the Portuguese Synagogue, the National Holocaust Museum and the memorial in the Hollandsche Schouwburg. Pick it if you want the story on the streets and the museums that explain the community it came from.
Two halves, one booking. The guided walk takes two hours and follows Amsterdam through the occupation of 1940 to 1945: how daily life changed for Jewish families, how Anne Frank became an icon, and how her father Otto Frank came to publish the diary after the war. The guide also covers the February Strike of 1941 and the Hunger Winter of 1944 to 1945, two turning points most visitors have never heard of. The walk starts in the old Jewish neighbourhood and ends close to the Anne Frank House on the Prinsengracht.
The museum half runs at your own pace. The Jewish Cultural Quarter ticket covers four locations within one square kilometre: the Jewish Museum with its children's museum, the 17th-century Portuguese Synagogue, the National Holocaust Museum and the National Holocaust Memorial in the former Hollandsche Schouwburg theatre. The tickets arrive separately after booking, and you can use them any day of your stay. We would see the museums first, so the guide's stories land on what you have just seen.
Live guides speak English, French, German, Italian or Spanish, and the meeting point depends on the language you choose; your booking shows the exact spot near the Jewish Cultural Quarter. The listing gives the whole day as about four hours. Because the walk finishes near the Prinsengracht, it pairs well with a museum visit: book your Anne Frank House slot on annefrank.org for about two hours after the walk starts.
The Jewish Cultural Quarter tickets are sent separately. Use them on the day of the walk or any other day of your stay.
The Jewish Museum fills the former Great Synagogue complex on Nieuwe Amstelstraat. Open daily 11:00 to 17:00.
The 17th-century synagogue, lit by hundreds of candles, with its treasure chambers of books and silver. Closed on Saturdays.
The National Holocaust Museum and, across the street, the Hollandsche Schouwburg memorial. Both open daily 10:00 to 17:00.
Meet your guide at the time you chose for the occupation years, the diary and how Anne Frank's story reached the world.
The walk ends close to the Prinsengracht, a short step from the museum entrance at Westermarkt.
★★★★★Our guide, Jonas, took us through locations of significance to the Jewish experience in the Netherlands under the Nazis. The emphasis on Anne Frank and her family shows why they hid so long while others were less successful. The memorial of names to the more than 102,000 killed by the Nazis visually gives the viewer a sense of the overwhelming losses [...]
★★★★★Holly explained the Jewish culture and religious sites as we walked . She explained key moments in World war 2 and the rise of anti- Semitism. It was poignant to end outside Anne Frank’s house.
★★★★★Virginie has a wealth of knowledge, which she presents in an engaging way, and she answered all our questions brilliantly; it was extremely interesting and informative.
