Although most of us are very familiar with the story of Ann Frank and her family, the story becomes much more moving, if that is possible, with a visit to the home where she was hidden during the war. This visit is a must for any visitor to Amsterdam. Note that there are some very steep and narrow stairs. Also,... more

visited in September and despite the crowds it was a fantastic experience. even the rowdy school girls went quiet after 10 minutes... more

This was a must see for me when I went to Amsterdam. It was a little hard for us to find, but we blamed it on the little sleep from the night before. When we first saw it, there was a line that wrapped around the building back to the canal (almost 2 blocks), so went and ate. After we... more

It is haunting to walk through the rooms where Anne, her family and four others hid for two years and where of course she wrote in her famous diary. To look outside... more

The inspiring true life story of Anne Frank is brought to life at the Anne Frank House. Being able to walk through the Secret Annex even after all these years since first reading her diary was an emotional experience. Not to be missed by anyone. more

I visited the house just a few days ago (late September) - I arrived in the morning, around about 10 30am - no queues at all.
