The route through the house is compact but emotionally heavy, so allow some quiet time afterwards.
Early and late slots are typically less crowded in the narrow rooms; spring and summer slots fill fastest, so plan ahead then.
New slots come out once a week, well in advance, and none are sold on arrival, so book early; you go in round the corner at Westermarkt.
The route starts in the front part of the house, where the business once ran. A movable bookcase hides the steep stairs to the Secret Annex. Inside, the rooms are left bare, as Otto Frank wished, though the pictures Anne glued to her wall remain. Afterwards, the museum section displays the diary itself and tells what happened to the people in hiding.
The house is on the Prinsengracht beside the Westerkerk tower, a short walk west of Dam Square; trams stop nearby.
Step-free accessThe museum describes itself as a historic canal house with steep stairs and small rooms, and says not all areas are fully accessible; it offers support and alternatives for visitors with a disability. A separate page on physical accessibility exists but could not be read.
The Anne Frank House sells tickets online only, each for a set time slot, and none are sold at the door, as of Oct 2026. New slots are released weekly, well ahead, so book early. The Book box on this page shows partner tickets and current prices.
The museum opens daily, usually 9:00 AM–10:00 PM, as of Oct 2026. Next special hours: 7 November 2026: 09:00-18:30. Tickets are sold online only, for set time slots, so check the hours before booking. Opening usually runs into the evening, which suits a later visit.
Many visitors allow about 1 h, as of Nov 2026. The route climbs steep stairs through the front house into the hidden annex, and the rooms are small, so people move through at a steady pace. Many people also pause quietly at the end.
The route leads through the canal house and, behind a moving bookcase, into the rooms where the families hid, then on to displays about Anne's diary and her life. The museum points out steep stairs and narrow rooms, as of Oct 2026.
Since every visit is booked online for a set slot, a ticket bought ahead is the way in, as of Oct 2026. The entrance is round the corner at Westermarkt, and the Tours section lists guided options in the canal district.
Next stop: 8–10 min walk
