Visiting Amsterdam: 3-5 Day Suggested Itinerary for 2025

"Often overlooked in favor of the Anne Frank House, the Jewish Historical Museum tells the broader history of Jews in Amsterdam with excellent WWII exhibits that highlight Dutch complacency, resistance, and guilt; with about 11,000 items it’s the country’s main Jewish history museum and, in my view, does a better job contextualizing Anne Frank’s story." - Matthew Kepnes

The 32 Best Things to See and Do in Amsterdam (Updated 2025)

"I prefer this museum to the Anne Frank House for contextual history: as the country’s only Jewish history museum it does an excellent job highlighting Jewish life in the Netherlands and has a particularly strong World War II exhibit that addresses Dutch resistance, complacency, and guilt; established in 1932 (and reopened in 1955), it houses over 11,000 items and artifacts." - Matthew Kepnes

Amazing museum where you have two sections: one that teaches you about Judaism through interactive audio visuals (see photos below) and another that tells you about the history of Jews in Amsterdam. Plan to spend at least a few hours here as the exhibits are truly amazing. One of the best museums I have ever been to. There is one item in particular I would not miss in the history section called a stereoscopic photo machine (first image below). It’s mesmerizing as it transports you right back to the times it depicts. I spent a good 39 minutes at this machine alone!

Our visit to the Jewish Museum was a powerful experience. It included time to walk through the walls of the Holocaust Memorial and read some of the 104,000 Dutch victims, including Anne Frank and Etty Hillesum. The guide provided much of the history of the Jewish community in the Netherlands.

I had a wonderful time at the Joods Museum. Don't miss the children's part -- it was my favorite. Super interactive, lovely, and colourful.

The displays are great. Had fun talking with a great lady from Israel who works here. She's sweet.

This museum is across the Portuguese Synagogue and if you buy the admission ticket at the Synagogue the same ticket can be used at the museum. This is in fact an old Ashkenazi Synagogue transformed into a Jewish museum. This is very, very interesting and the exhibit is also well worth visiting.

I came for the jewish sex positions. I found it very interesting to see the difference. I would recommend buying a ticket online, it is a little cheaper. Ticket is for a week so you can use it again or give it away.

I didn’t feel there was a clear theme and move in chronological order although that’s what they tried. The Jewish museums in the states are more robust maybe they should take help from there. I loved the gift shop, good collection. Maybe that’s the feeling I get because I was at the synagogue the same day

Was a quick visit. 2 synagogues together as 1 museum. Lots of background on Jewish religion and practices. Then history of the Jews in Amsterdam and war time experiences. Not as good as the Berlin museum ( in fairness it is amazing) but still worth a visit.
