Anne Frank House: a visit that needs preparation

The Anne Frank House in Amsterdam focuses on Anne Frank’s story and the Secret Annex (Achterhuis). A visit is only possible with an online time slot booked in advance.

Plan your visit ↗

Space and story

The hiding place is an essential part of the visit. Take time for the explanations in the rooms, so that their meaning is not reduced to just the shape of the building.

Context beforehand

A half-hour introductory programme is offered. It can help you place the museum route if you would like background, but it has to be scheduled as a separate part of the visit.

Temporary presentations too

The museum mentions exhibitions that complement the main story. Check the current presentation if you are particularly interested in it; the content may change alongside the permanent route.

Before you go

The entrance is on the Westermarkt. Check for maintenance closures and different hours; the building has steep stairs and is not accessible by every route.
