Discover one of Amsterdam’s significant historical facets on this guided tour through the Jewish Quarter, focusing on World War II history, Jewish culture, and Anne Frank’s life. The tour is available in English, German, Italian, Spanish, or French.
Start at the Anne Frank Monument by Westerkerk, near the Anne Frank House, and follow her story through Amsterdam’s UNESCO-listed city centre and historic Jewish Quarter. Learn about Anne Frank, whose diary remains a powerful account of hiding during World War II.

You will also see the National Monument at Dam Square, the Royal Palace, and Madame Tussauds Amsterdam.
