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 is a synagogue, still in use, built in the 16th century by Portuguese Jews expelled by the Portuguese Inquisition, hence the name. Important to acquire the audio guide in several languages to understand each space and its meaning. The ticket, around 19/20 euros, helps the maintenance of a place that needs to be continuously preserved. I consider it important and I do not claim to pay in artistic and historical places. There is a store with books and interesting objects. In front, across the street, there is also the Jewish Museum. It is important to have the passport at hand and in high season to buy a ticket in advance, attaching a document.

Amazing this synagouge is still standing, built in 1600's when Jews were expelled from Portugal. No electricity or heat, but we were here on a beautiful day. The audio guide and map are good. Only downside is they only sell a combo ticket to the Jewish museum, which we didn't have time for. Would have preferred just a synagouge ticket
This tour in Amsterdam is organized by Jewish Cultural Quarter Amsterdam
