The Jewish Quarter and Waterlooplein complete the most south eastern part of the Oude Zijde (old side). Before World War II a large Jewish community would have been living here. Those days have passed and a lot of architectural changes have taken place in the Jewish Quarter over the years. However, the history of the district remains and there are many things to do and see in and around this area to enjoy.
Search for a bargain on the daily Waterlooplein Flea Market right next to the impressive Amsterdam Music Theatre, known locally as the Stopera. The huge church nearby is the Mozes and Aaronkerk. Don’t miss the house of one of Amsterdams most famous residents, Het Rembrandthuis. At the Holland Experience you can learn more about the Netherlands, it’s also great for families. Then as you head slightly to your east you have three absolute highlights of the Jewish Quarter; the Jewish Historical Museum, Esnoga the Portugese Synagogue and for art lovers the Hermitage Amsterdam just along the Amstel is a must.
Heading further east you enter the district know as the Plantage (Plantation), part of the city that was once green parkland on the outskirts of the old city. The name is not wasted though as it is home Amsterdam’s excellent Hortus Botanicus (Botanical Garden) and a small walk away is Artis Zoo one of the city’s most popular attractions and nicest zoos you will visit anywhere.
Other notable attractions in the area are Hollandsche Schouwburg a theater preserved as a memorial to the Jews that were kept here before deportation. Then there are three more museums; The Verzetsmuseum tells the story of the resistance during World War II, the Vak bond museum (Trade Union Museum) and the Tropen Museum (Tropical Museum) which provides a fascinating insight into the many of the world’s most exotic cultures as well the colonial history of the Netherlands.
