Full Access Pass

The ultimate pass for a complete historical immersion. Includes access to the 4 major attractions in the cultural quarter:

Jewish Museum
Portuguese Synagogue
National Holocaust Museum: This is housed in a former school, which was used by the Nazis as a deportation centre for Jews. Photographs, artefacts, clothing and interactive displays will help you understand what life was like for Dutch Jews who were persecuted during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands.
Hollandsche Schouwburg: This is a former theatre where Jews sent by the Nazis to concentration camps were held. In this place, now a memorial, you will see various photographs and documents intended to preserve the memory of all those who suffered the horrors of the Holocaust.
