    Required visiting for tourists, and well worth the 40 minute long queue. But skip the queue by booking online and show up minutes before your tour rather than an hour.

    Good experience. Recommend booking an online reservation early as a few spots in the museum can back up a bit.

    Get there before the museum opens, preferably at 8-8:30am, to avoid a horrendous line. A must-see attraction in Amsterdam. Takes about 2 hours not including wait time.

    Buy tickets online to avoid the queues. Beware that online tickets are usually sold out 5 days in advance, so book before you travel or you'll end up in the queues!

    You won't be at the line more than 1 hour, and is worth to make it. House is small so don't take any back pack in.

    It was an interesting experience, but I do suggest to go at a time when there are less people. I did not enjoy feeling pressured to rush through each room.

    Book tickets online, during the week, in the evening. We got tickets for Wed. 6pm--waltzed right in, small crowd throughout.

    There won't be any queue if you go there early enough. Then you can enjoy a brunch at one of the nice cafes around.

    Short lines on Tuesdays, well worth taking the time to do this. Very educational, very heart-rending.

    Impressive atmosphere, very impactful place. The natural silence of the visitors is a reflection of the terrible realities of the stories told inside.

    To beat the queue, buy your tickets online at least a week ahead, and a month ahead if you want the introductory programme that costs more.

    The line will be long so prepare to join the flaky wifi. They security inside are quiet annoying about having the backpack on your frontside. Also disappointing that you don't go into the attic.

    Queuing up first thing in the morning is the best bet if you didn't pre-purchase tickets online. Arriving at 9 took us one hour in the queue.

    Don't come during the weekend if you don't want to waste your time queueing. The queueing is happening outside and inside of the house. There is no limit on how many people can go in.

    Either buy your ticket months in advance or arrive very early and wait in line! Waited over an hour to get into the house. It's very interesting but there's not very much to see.
