The Anne Frank House provides an immersive experience for visitors to understand Anne’s story through quotes, images, videos, and artifacts. The museum has a solemn yet authentic atmosphere. On July 6th, 1942, the Frank family went into hiding in the secret annex at Prinsengracht 263, where Otto Frank’s business was located. Later, they were joined by Fritz Pfeffer and the Van Pels family
The building consisted of the main house and the annex. The annex’s upper floors housed the eight people in hiding. Anne had to share a small room with Fritz Pfeffer, which often led to arguments, as she struggled with being confined indoors. Writing in her diary provided an outlet for Anne. To brighten the space, she put up pictures on the walls.
The Secret Annex immerses you in the harrowing true story of Anne Frank. Through preserved rooms and diaries, her circumstance becomes personal – innocence lost to unthinkable hatred, yet moral courage thriving in darkness. Anne’s voice emerges from these walls to drive home why we must never forget.
Climb the steep staircase to the tiny rooms where eight Jews took refuge. Peer into Anne's bedroom, still adorned with movie star photos she pasted to the wall. Imagine Anne quietly writing in her diary as you witness the Secret Annex's hidden entryway and cleverly camouflaged bookcase.
Experience just how confined the living space was. Though in constant danger of discovery, Anne filled her days with reading, studying and hopes of becoming a writer. The diaries she penned here chronicle her dreams along with the fear and deprivation endured by all.
Reflect on Anne’s legacy of courage and resilience. Though the Frank family’s eventual capture ended tragically, Anne’s message of belief in the goodness of people lives on for visitors here today.

The Anne Frank House tour was profoundly moving and educational, providing a deep connection to Anne’s story. However, the overall package quality, including the audio guide and organization, was lacking and could use significant improvements.
My visit to the Anne Frank House was a profoundly moving experience. Walking through the cramped quarters where Anne and her family hid from the Nazis brought history to life in a visceral way. Despite the somber tone, there’s a sense of hope in Anne’s enduring legacy and the resilience of the human spirit. The museum serves as a powerful reminder of the atrocities of the past and the importance of standing up against injustice.
As someone deeply interested in history, visiting the Anne Frank House was an eye-opening experience. The museum provides a visceral understanding of the hardships faced by Anne and her family during the Nazi occupation. Walking through the hidden annex, I felt a profound sense of gratitude for the freedoms we often take for granted. Despite the somber atmosphere, the visit is a powerful reminder of the importance of bearing witness to history and honoring the memory of those who perished.Remember one thing, It is sold out everyday so remember to buy your tickets in advance. I researched many sites and found this site user-friendly and easy to process. Thanks to them for ensuring my ticket smoothly and making the memorable journey possible.
When I first read Anne Frank’s Diary around 5+ years back, I had no idea that I would have an opportunity to visit the house where she wrote most of her diary. But her words stayed with me and when we started planning for Amsterdam we knew we had to visit this museum. It should be noted that tickets are only available online with specific time slots and it is necessary to book well in advance. Unfortunately, we didn’t know about it before and worried about finding tickets. Luckly my friend suggest me about this site and the helped my arranging ticket at the end moment.Reaching the museum is easy by taking Tram 13 or 17 to Westermarkt stop which is a few steps away from the house. The audio guide was informative and helped us to know more details about the house’s history. Photography is not allowed inside the house and I am sure the majority of the visitors do not mind. The history of the house touches people in so many ways. At the end of the tour, even keeping in mind her tragic ending along with most of her family, we felt happy that the people who condemned her to death couldn’t defeat her spirit and people still remember her as a hero.
I visited within a very large group and during our visit we all had different views. The Ann frank House was much bigger than expected. Within the start you are taken into a room where it’s very descriptive on the past and present of the house and Ann herself. This talk gives opportunities for pictures and a Q & A. You are then given a listening device and the tour was informative with it. Overall it’s great to just see and hear the experiences of this popular attraction. The holocaust museum is something that had much more of an impact and something that had no queues of wait time so I’d recommend that over this.
Stepping into the house where Anne and her family hid from the Nazis is a deeply moving experience. The tour provides valuable insights into Anne’s life and the context of the Holocaust. While the museum can be crowded, the informative audio guide enhances the experience. Overall, it’s a poignant reminder of the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
