Description

Explore Amsterdam's rich history on our Anne Frank Walking Tour, featuring key historical sites that paint a vivid picture of the city's past and its connection to World War II. Begin at the Portuguese Synagogue, a stunning 17th-century Sephardic synagogue, renowned for its vast interior and breathtaking wooden vaulted ceilings, preserved without modern lights or heating to maintain authenticity. Next, see the Holocaust Memorial designed by Daniel Libeskind. Its anticipated completion promises a profound architectural homage to the Dutch victims of the Holocaust, adding a significant layer to the city's historical landscape. You’ll also visit the location of the Auschwitz Memorial in Wertheimpark, a moving installation by Jan Wolkers featuring broken mirrors that poignantly reflect the sky in fragments, symbolizing the shattered lives from the atrocities of Auschwitz. Then, explore the Rembrandt House Museum, where the famed painter Rembrandt lived and worked, now meticulously restored to its original state and showcasing his etchings, personal items, and painting techniques. From here, see the Zuiderkerk, Amsterdam’s first Protestant church, which highlights the city's architectural evolution with its iconic tower that provides stunning city views. Although now a municipal information center, it remains a significant historical site. Conclude with a visit to the Anne Frank Statue near the Anne Frank House, a touching tribute to Anne’s enduring legacy and a reminder of the consequences of intolerance.
