Jewish Cultural Quarter

Jewish Cultural Quarter is a sight in Amsterdam, a quieter pick. The Jewish Cultural Quarter includes the Jewish Museum (formerly known as the Jewish Historical Museum), the Portuguese Synagogue (built in 1675), the Hollandsche Schouwburg (National Holocaust Memorial), and the Jewish Museum Junior (an educational children's museum designed like a traditional Jewish home). The Jewish Museum itself is housed in four monumental synagogues near Waterlooplein, making it a great place to start on a family day out in central Amsterdam. visitor rating 4.5/5 (322 reviews).
