Anne Frank and seven others hid in the secret annex of this canal house from July 1942 until they were arrested in August 1944. You walk through the front house and then into the annex behind the bookcase, in a one-way route with no room to stop. The rooms are mostly empty, and the museum uses diary extracts and objects to explain what happened. A visit takes about an hour.
What to look for
- The revolving bookcase that hid the entrance
- Anne's room with the pictures she pasted on the wall
- The pencil marks of the girls' growing heights
- Anne's original diary

Tickets and booking
Adult ticket €16.50. The listed adult price includes a booking fee, and children's tickets cost less. You can choose a regular visit or one with a 30 minute introduction in English.
Tickets are sold online only, for a fixed time slot, and not at the door. Every Tuesday at 10:00 CEST all tickets for a visit six weeks later go on sale. Plan your Amsterdam dates around this.
Getting there
Tram to Westermarkt, then a two minute walk along the Prinsengracht, where the entrance is next to the Westerkerk.
Tip
Book as soon as your dates are fixed, because tickets are released in six-week batches.
