    It's highly recommended to go as early as possible or go later in the afternoon. The queue is already very long at 11 am! + there is NO student reduction :(

    Very impressive and strongly recommend to visit, however, its not a attraction to bring kids due to its heavy vibe.

    Either buy your tickets (weeks/months in advance) or show up 30 mins prior to opening in order to avoid a 2+ hour wait.

    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.

    The most beautiful, moving museum/memorial I have ever been to. The original wallpaper and photos affixed on the wall is heartbreaking.

    The queue is long, no matter what time of the day or year you go. However, the staff come out and mind you at intervals.

    You need to pre-book online, otherwise the queue will inevitably be two hours long in the summer, even if you arrive at say 10.30am.

    Is had a moving experience in this place. It's not easy to be empathetic with what this family went through, due to the amount of tourists and noise, but I was grateful this place still existed.

    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!
