In the heart of the old Jewish neighbourhood stands the Portuguese Synagogue. The biggest synagogue in the world when it was built in the 17th century. Jews still worship here to this day, but whenever this wonderful building isn’t being used for services it’s open for you to visit. Everyone is welcome. Whether you’re Jewish or not. A visit to the Portuguese Synagogue is a breathtaking experience. Everything has been kept just as it was in the 17th century. Instead of electric lights, the synagogue is lit by hundreds of candles.

It hosts frequent candlelight concerts. Hundreds of candles illuminate the perfectly intact 17th-century interior. Visitors to the smaller buildings in the complex will find treasure chambers containing a unique collection of ceremonial objects made of silver, gold, brocade, and silk. The world’s oldest functioning Jewish library is also here: Ets Haim Livraria Montezinos, which is on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.

Visiting the Portuguese Synagogue in Amsterdam was a truly moving experience. It’s incredibly generous of the Sephardic community to open their Synagogue and facilities to visitors. The building itself is stunning and transports you back to 1675, the year it was built. An absolute must-see.

I was looking forward to our whole day in the Jewish Quarter to get an education about the Jewish history and experience in Amsterdam. We visited this Synagogue, the Jewish Museum, the Dutch Resistance Museum, the Holocaust museum, the Jewish theatre, and the Holocaust memorial. It was a jam packed day. Of all of these, we felt the most impactful experience, most educational, and most interesting was the Dutch Resistance museum and the Holocaust museum. I am not sure why Rick Steves gave the Portuguese Synagogue two triangles (stars) instead of one star. It was okay, as was the audio guide. Maybe a private tour would have increased the experience to make it more interesting but I'm not sure.

What experience? We booked tickets to visit the Portuguese Synagogue on Sunday, September 7, 2025, and paid for the tickets. When we got to the synagogue, we were denied entrance because a special event was happening. Why were we not not advised of this beforehand? Very bad experience.
