The museum's audio-guide is very well organized and clear and on top: Portuguese is also available. It was a very interesting experience.

Oh so grand and yet oh so simple. Over the years 1616 - 1670 it had to be built in an understated way in order not to upset the Protestant City magistrates. And on top of that, Dutch Protestant churches at the time were all about humbleness as well. There's only one 'Esnoga' and this is it. It has a few biblical temple details like the 'lion's feet' - most people don't know to look for. (all the way on the backside of the building). The Aron Ha-Kodesh (holy ark) built from Brazilian Jacaranda wood where the Torah scrolls are kept, is overpowering. The atmosphere is wonderful and if the winter shul (smaller synagogue for cold winter days) is open for visiting, it's gorgeous in its simplicity as well. You have to book an appointment to see the library, which has a world-class priceless collection of Judaica (Etz Haim). Absolute treasures from a literary point of view. It's worth it to request (book ahead) a private guide if you have the time. It'll help with security as well. Expect a good amount of security. Bring your passport for obvious reasons.

Amazing. Breathtaking. Full of mystery. Lovely. Awe inspiring. Still lit by thousands of candles...woodwork...priceless treasures...dripping with history...MUST SEE!

Great experience, packed full with history. The audio guide is a must with lots of information. The building itself is absolutely stunning. I highly reccomend visiting this sight, and the ticket cost €17, but do not be scared off by this high price, as it also gets you into the Jewish Historic Museum, the National Holocaust Museum and the Holland Theatre. This means the ticket is excellent value for money as it gets you into 4 places total. This historical sight takes you through the horrific devastation the Jewish population suffered at the hands of the Nazis. It is extremely sad to learn about, but it is worth the visit for the insight into this.
