The oldest synagogue in Europe: one feels the lack of technology (heat or electricity) as soon as walking in. Simple in design but the wooden work and brass candelabra, the sumptuous existence and preservation care worth visiting. The audio tour has high benefits especially in the area still used by the Jewish community. Sterling silver vintage artifacts are active tools in the daily rituals of Judaism. Bring your own siddur (prayer book). The 15€ ticket includes a visit to the Jewish Museum across the street and the Holocaust Museum which I had to cut from the list due to lack of time. So, 3 museums for the price of one if you start with the synagogue. Public toilets are available on the premises.

Gets a 5 out of 5. Simply because of the guy who turned us down at the entrance. I can't remember the quote but it felt like he was saying "you have got no ticket? Then get out of here you crazy englishman" loved it.

the "esnoja" or the portogues synagoge is one of amsterdam's pearls if you a jewish or familiar with the jewish history, is the biggest synagoge on earh and its rich with history. very recommended for every jewish to come and explore the place and its facillities, its cost 20 euro for a couple and you gets a free tickets to the jewish history museum also. preaper to be very excited

You can't go inside without fee. Outside you can see almost nothing. Why?

Bought Ticket for the museum and it included a visit here. Me and my girlfriend were very warmly welcomed and had a nice chat with the staff. The Synagogue is very beautiful and really old! With the ticket you buy you have access to the museum, the synagogue and the Holocaust museum :) it's definitely worth a visit!

The audio guide was really useful - you get a much deeper understanding of the synagogue. It's free entry with the I-Amsterdam card, and you are also entitled to visit 3 other sites in the Jewish quarter within 30 days!

Very interesting and informative audio guide. Can't miss if you want to understand Jewish history in western Europe.

The Portuguese Synagogue has the majestic feel of the original temple of Salomon (that plan was used as a template). The outside of the building eyes like a fortification, but the inside is warm & woody.
