What can I say! This experience is worth much more than 5 stars. It's a must-visit for everyone. The museum is well-organized, with recordings available in every room. The flow of the journey through the museum leading to the house is exceptional. Although there are no signs prohibiting talking, visitors traversed in silence, even children. There’s an atmosphere of calmness, sadness, and respect. One of the most incredible experiences of my life. I purchased a wonderful book containing all the details and photos from the visit, which was a truly humbling experience. I’ve wanted to see this for years and will never forget it... Thank you, Otto Frank.
A somber yet compelling site to visit while in Amsterdam. While most are familiar with Anne Frank's story, walking through the house and annex provided a deeper perspective. Acquiring a ticket can be difficult, so it's best to book one in advance. The audio guide is quite useful, as is the intro session before the tour starts. Expect the entire visit to last at least an hour.
I took my kids to visit, and it was a deeply emotional experience to see a place I’ve only seen in books or media. It was quiet, and visitors were very respectful, similar to visiting a graveyard. The information provided about Anne's life was very informative, and seeing her diary in person was incredibly moving.
Visiting the Anne Frank House was an unforgettable experience. Witnessing the preserved details from that era—the notes, the books, and even the pictures on the walls—provided a glimpse into the lives of those in hiding. The hidden door was particularly intriguing, showcasing the remarkable way they constructed the annex. The entire visit was both emotional and enlightening, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Amsterdam.
It is wise to book in advance if you plan to visit this location, as tickets sell out quickly, and only a limited number of visitors can enter. However, I have reservations regarding visitor management because the areas where the family was hiding were quite crowded (we visited in the afternoon). Photography was prohibited inside the building, yet there were no staff members present, and people still took photos. The tour is self-guided and took us about an hour.
