About Anne Frank House

A passage behind a bookcase changes the meaning of a house on the canal. In the rear annex, Anne Frank and others hid from Nazi persecution. The diary takes on a physical dimension that no façade can prepare you for.

Listen to the audio guide without tight plans waiting for you outside. Timed tickets are sold exclusively by the museum itself; neighborhood tours advertised by third parties do not guarantee entry. Check the access conditions for the stairs on the historic route.
