Walk through the Anne Frank House, the Amsterdam canal house where Anne Frank and her family hid during World War II. Climb the steep stairs to the secret annex with the free audio guide.

📖

Full description

Anne Frank House preserves the building where Anne Frank, her family and others hid from the Nazis in a secret annex during the Second World War. Visitors walk through the narrow rooms and steep staircases typical of Amsterdam canal houses, guided by a free audio guide.

Reviewers describe it as a moving, immersive experience that takes roughly an hour, and stress that it is one of the city's most popular sites. Entry is by pre-booked ticket, and arriving on time keeps the process quick.

The house is small, so the visit is intimate rather than sprawling.

Amazing tour and visit. Every part of it was great. I highly recommend it. Like in most houses in Amsterdam there are very steep stairs to climb. Well worth it.
