History Trips to Amsterdam

What better way to begin your tour to Amsterdam than with a visit to The Amsterdam Historical Museum which takes you on a chronological trip through Amsterdam’s 800 year past showing how it has grown and shrunk using archaeological finds, works of art and plenty of quirkier displays to describe its history. For students of Second World War history in particular, Kamp Westerbork Concentration Camp has a museum which houses a permanent exhibition on the history of camp Westerbork, with many original photographs, documents, drawings, paintings, images, maps, and objects from Westerbork.

Places to Stay


Reasons to Visit

Royal Coster Diamond Factory and Museum

During your tour you will learn why Queen Victoria, Empress Sisi and King Rama V of Siam not only trusted them with their diamonds but took the time to travel all the way to Amsterdam to witness with their own eyes how they crafted the most sparkling diamond jewellery. The tour also demonstrates how the diamonds are cut and polished and the museum has excellent interactive exhibits with a 5 - 10 minute introductory video presentation.

Amsterdam Historical Museum

The museum takes a chronological trip through Amsterdam’s 800 year past showing how it has grown and shrunk and using archaeological finds, works of art and plenty of quirkier displays to describe its history. The museum is an engaging and illuminating visit which does justice to Amsterdam’s rich history.

Anne Frank's House

Anne Frank was one of the Jewish victims of Nazi persecution during the Second World War. She died of typhus aged 15 years old in Bergen-Belsen. Her diary saved by one of the family’s helpers was first published in 1947. It has since been translated into 55 languages and is one of the most widely read books in the world.
