I have never read the book but the whole experience is incredibly humbling. Loved the way the whole museum is set up. A must-see for everyone - felt like a pilgrimage of sorts

book your tickets in advance to avoid the queue

Amazing Museum! A place you definitely have to visit on your trip in Amsterdam. Feel ashamed if you don't! One of the greatest experiences in my life!

Really interesting look at Anne Frank's life. While there's not much in the house (her father didn't want them to recreate) still interesting to see and lots of good videos, etc

If you can't get tickets to Anne Frank House buy them with the boat tour. No need to wait in line and you get scheduled time.

We were not able to visit the museum, but if you walk around the city be sure to take in all the historical plaques.

Very interesting place, imbued with History and interesting facts about a girl and her family. Very silly thing though: they don't let you take pictures. Nonsense !

Intense and recommended place to visit. Respect & enjoy the visit with a tour. Info well provided and also audiobook in several languages

Every person should be able to go to this place and feel the history alive. It's a beautiful and touching story of a group that tried everything to keep themselves and their loved ones safe.

Aside from buying tickets online, when u get there, the entrance door 4 those with online tickets is different from the long queue of those buying tickets there. Free wifi within the lobby is great!
Nars EspinosaJune 15, 2014
Buy your tickets with time and/or online - we waited +2 hours in line. Totally worth it, but if you can save time, even better ;)
Bruna PilotoJuly 21, 2013
The cue is always long during the summer. But the good thing is that it moves quite fast! I spent about 1h to get in. But inside the house was full of people. I advice to go during low season
Aleksandra GarbaczOctober 20, 2015
Took me 3 years to finally accept the fact i will have to wait in a never ending line in a rain, wind and 1000 of other people waiting but it was totally worth it-amazing feeling to see what u read.

Must have a reservation to enter before 3pm. Check online for same-day tickets the morning you want to go. Keep checking because they sell out within minutes.
Nikolas TapiaApril 27, 2016
The museum is pretty nice. The exposition can get very emotional so be prepared. If you read the book then you will recognize many things.
Jenny LawJuly 1, 2015
Originally I thought it is only a small house. Turns out it has quite a lot to see. We arrived at 8:45am but still had to wait for 2.5h to enter. There was once that we passed by at 5 but saw no queue
Patricia SanchezDecember 30, 2014
It's a very emotional journey, the life of Anne Frank was the same for so many people during the war. Try to arrive very early or buy the tickets online because the waiting line is very long all day.
Ítalo Lelis de VietroJanuary 9, 2018
An incredible experience especially if you want to better understand what happened with millions of people. Totally worth it and btw buy the tickets online and avoid headaches.
Ана ЛековићAugust 13, 2018
Free wifi in front of the museum entrance. When you're finishing your visit don't forget to look behind the curtains across the gift shop for a small cinema piece.
Michi PietrantoniMarch 28, 2015
Come early to avoid long lines. Her story is moving and being able to see the house where she hid is very interesting, but i wasnt impressed with the museum after having visited other jewish museums
はJuly 6, 2013
Online pre-book, inc 30 MinPgm is highly recommended. In the program the guide give us some introductory information before visiting the museum. Either way, it's surely worth standing in long queues.
PolinaMay 11, 2013
A must see museum! Very touching and thought provoking! A had tears on my eyes! In the bookshop inside you can buy her book in all languages!
Wendy TauntonJuly 3, 2014
Very enjoyable. As soon as you know you will be visiting, jump on line and pre-purchase your tickets. Our wait was almost 2-hours and I was sorry that I didn't order our tickets ahead of time.
_August 18, 2015
Buy tickets online in advance to avoid the massive lines. If you can't, come an hour or more before the museums opens to avoid the crazy long lines. Extremely sad and eye opening.
Domnule ObzenJuly 22, 2015
If you read the book, prepare your heart... It's an interesting visit but really sad. A place that everyone should visit. Totally recommended.
Simon OpsomerMarch 23, 2022
A must visit when in Amsterdam. Book your tickets in advance online and there won’t be any problems when you arrive.
Christian BachJanuary 27, 2014
There is Wifi, but not available for visitors. Get your ticket online before your visit, so you can skip the line in front. Use the extra door with the bell to the left of the main entrance.
Paull YoungJuly 8, 2018
You can get tickets day off if you are persistent about checking the website every single hour
Donatella YamammaJuly 28, 2013
Forget coming early, might be best to buy your ticket online. This is the line at 9:30, just 30 mins after opening in a Sunday.
Paige HunterFebruary 18, 2019
A must-visit in Amsterdam. No photos allowed during the tour and check your bags in the cloakroom.
Ant BurrowsNovember 12, 2015
If you didn't manage to get a ticket online, head down after 3pm as the queue is greatly reduced. A must visit in Amsterdam, though
pieter vNovember 2, 2015
Impressive to realise the history. The line was still incredibly long around 6.30 pm, so it takes time inserting a visit into your trip
Yana BabinskayaSeptember 30, 2015
Recommend to book tickets in advance from the site. In this case you will be able to skip long queue.
Balázs FAugust 12, 2014
The queue is extremely long, about 2 hours of waiting, but worth it. The staff provide free umbrellas in rain!
Werther VeulemansAugust 23, 2014
The best time to go is when it rains really hard. So the queue will be gone in no-time!
Roniel TesslerNovember 4, 2015
One of the most important museums in the world. Extremely moving. Make sure to buy tickets ahead of time as lines are LONG.
Alexandre HiguchiOctober 31, 2014
Come early. We arrived 8h30 (30 minutes before opening hours) on a Sunday and the line was half block long. By the time the museum opened, line was doubled. We get in by 9h45.
Sally M.March 31, 2013
It's an emotional experience, but well worth the trip and the wait, assuming you're not able to get tickets online. The line's better first thing in the morning and near closing time.
Liana BudacsAugust 26, 2011
This place is amazing! If you come to Amsterdam, visit it. This house is steeped in history and feelings! Brasileiros, venham... linda história. Abraços de uma descendente de holandeses orgulhosa. :)
Jolande GriffioenJanuary 16, 2015
Very impressive, a museum you must see! Worth waiting in line although that might take a while. Try to order tickets online!
Eva BojorgesDecember 4, 2014
I was there on a monday morning and still had to wait in line for 30 minutes. Nevertheless it's worth it. I don't usually like museums but this one is very interesting. Very sad.

This is the house where Jewish girl Anne Frank wrote on her diary while hiding from the Nazis in World War II. Prinsengracht 263-267, and will take about a 20-minute walk from the Central Station.
Robert BelcianoApril 16, 2016
A must go when in Amsterdam. To see what she and her family went through was both heartbreaking and inspiring.
Muriel VegaSeptember 11, 2014
Don't stand in the queue! Buy your tickets online, they sell them by the hour, and skip the super long line! Enter on the door to the left. Self-guided tour, very insightful
JannaJuly 4, 2015
Waiting hours is really worthy! Anne Frank is a life history that should be in ones heart and memories. I could not stop thinking of how many Annes had no life opportunities being victims of Nazis.
Pelin DuraMay 25, 2016
A must do if you are in amsterdam. after 15.30 they let people in from the line outside. We waited 1.5 hours
Bruna DinizAugust 22, 2012
I never been in such emotional place as Anne Frank House. If you come to amsterdam you should visit this place and see how hard was her life during the narcissism.
Alex ValJune 15, 2016
A really sad place that teaches you a lot ! The experience was unforgettable but try to purchase some tickets online because the waiting line can be 2 hours long !
Amit GaharwarApril 2, 2016
If you had only one place to visit in Amsterdam this should be the place. Why, because in Anne Frank's writings of having a world without discrimination lies the spirit of this city!
LeonAugust 11, 2017
Book your tickets online! Otherwise you can wait after 15:30 for 3h to get inside..
