My class read Anne's diary in high school. To be in the actual place where Anne and her family hid away is very poignant - definitely worth a visit More

Anne Franks House exemplifies the best and the worst in human nature. So many people wish to rewrite history. This stands as a monument to truth. People are both awesome and terrible. It is up to you to decide which side you want to be on. More

Try to enter early in the morning because the space gets crowded. More

We inadvertantly visited on the public holiday of Ascension Day when the queue was horrendous. If we hadn't booked in advance we certainly wouldn't have bothered. We felt very smug as we bypassed the... More
