Join us on our Amsterdam in World War II Tour, and journey into Amsterdam’s troubled past!
Amsterdam was occupied from 1940 to 1945, becoming the scene of a terrifying human history.
Nazi troops entered Amsterdam on 16 of May 1940, the beginning of the most harrowing and difficult 5 years of Amsterdam’s history. Our Amsterdam in World War II Tour will show you some of the most historic locations in the city that will bring to life this unique and frightening period of Amsterdam’s history.
