If you are not one of those keen on history, this place will not excite you at all. It might even be a bit of a let down especially waiting for hours just to get in. It's just about seeing some rooms and many exhibits from the past. On the other hand, it is great that a place like this... More

Having read the book on Anne Frank, this trip to her house of hiding was very high on our priorities to visit. Unbelievable to comprehend how a family and friends shared the tiny space in hiding behind a bookcase entrance which was made to conceal their annex. One can still feel the atmosphere of the era this family experience this... More

Although the information they provided via video screens set up throughout the tour was informative, the rooms are noticeably absent of furniture. I would liked to have seen the rooms furnished - visually, it would have more impact. We booked our tickets online for a specific date and time slot (20 minutes intervals) and the house was still packed with... More

We just visited the Anne Frank Housr and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Definitely book online as the lines are extremely long! We booked for the time we wanted to visit and we just went to the side door and rang the bell and went right in! Couldn't be easier! The experience was amazing to actually walk through the same place... More

The Anne Frank Huis (in fleming) is really a place not to miss in Amsterdam. First you have to organize yourself well. Try to come as early as possible (at 10:00 am, we had to wait 20 minutes to get in, but at 9:00 am we would have come in directly). Then avoid any big bag because they do not... More

Don't let the queue put you off. I joined the end of it which was around the side of the building but I was inside the front door in under 30 minutes. The visit cost €9 pp and I spent around 30 minutes inside. You could spend longer if you watched all the movies in the rooms. There is a... More
