There is Wifi, but not available for visitors. Get your ticket online before your visit, so you can skip the line in front. Use the extra door with the bell to the left of the main entrance.

Buy tickets online in advance to avoid the massive lines. If you can't, come an hour or more before the museums opens to avoid the crazy long lines. Extremely sad and eye opening.
Nars EspinosaJune 15, 2014
Buy your tickets with time and/or online - we waited +2 hours in line. Totally worth it, but if you can save time, even better ;)
Patricia SanchezDecember 30, 2014
It's a very emotional journey, the life of Anne Frank was the same for so many people during the war. Try to arrive very early or buy the tickets online because the waiting line is very long all day.
Renata MeirellesDecember 22, 2014
I read the book and got so emotional seeing where Anne lived for that 2 years. It's a must see for those who are visiting Amsterdam.

Forget coming early, might be best to buy your ticket online. This is the line at 9:30, just 30 mins after opening in a Sunday.
BommyJuly 5, 2016
Must have a reservation to enter before 3pm. Check online for same-day tickets the morning you want to go. Keep checking because they sell out within minutes.
Alexandre HiguchiOctober 31, 2014
Come early. We arrived 8h30 (30 minutes before opening hours) on a Sunday and the line was half block long. By the time the museum opened, line was doubled. We get in by 9h45.

An incredible experience especially if you want to better understand what happened with millions of people. Totally worth it and btw buy the tickets online and avoid headaches.
🎀Ariane Anderson🎀February 13, 2012
Absolutely astounding, I wanted to take a picture but out of most respect did not, this is something that everyone must experience! 5 stars, amazing! I will be back with my kids once they are grown.
Sally M.March 31, 2013
It's an emotional experience, but well worth the trip and the wait, assuming you're not able to get tickets online. The line's better first thing in the morning and near closing time.

Been here 25+ times
As you will have to wait in line for a while, use the Anne Frank House free Wifi. Or look around you; above the Anne Frank House are student houses, spy on them and try to find out what they're doing.

Intense and recommended place to visit. Respect & enjoy the visit with a tour. Info well provided and also audiobook in several languages
Ant BurrowsNovember 12, 2015
If you didn't manage to get a ticket online, head down after 3pm as the queue is greatly reduced. A must visit in Amsterdam, though
Jackie BdOMarch 27, 2014
Every person should be able to go to this place and feel the history alive. It's a beautiful and touching story of a group that tried everything to keep themselves and their loved ones safe.
Zara KhanAugust 25, 2014
Fantastic experience. This museum boasts the original edition of Anne's diary, including the original edition of the diaries that were translated into 70 languages.
Mayank JainApril 3, 2015
Book online to skip the line. Sometimes new tickets are released day of so check a few times in the morning too. Read at least the Wikipedia page of Anne Frank before coming if not the actual book.
Ioanna ADecember 3, 2013
Amazing Museum! A place you definitely have to visit on your trip in Amsterdam. Feel ashamed if you don't! One of the greatest experiences in my life!
Dan CastellanoDecember 8, 2019
Very intense to walk the halls where Anne Frank hid with her family and see her writings firsthand, make sure to book in advance
Simon OpsomerMarch 23, 2022
A must visit when in Amsterdam. Book your tickets in advance online and there won’t be any problems when you arrive.
Ferdy van BerkelAugust 23, 2018
Once the hiding place of Anne Frank and her family during the war. Here you can experience the emotional and sad story based on her diary. Book (far) in advance online as there will be long queues.
pieter vNovember 2, 2015
Impressive to realise the history. The line was still incredibly long around 6.30 pm, so it takes time inserting a visit into your trip
Paige HunterFebruary 18, 2019
A must-visit in Amsterdam. No photos allowed during the tour and check your bags in the cloakroom.
Scott LuxDecember 29, 2018
Good experience. Recommend booking an online reservation early as a few spots in the museum can back up a bit.
Yana BabinskayaSeptember 30, 2015
Recommend to book tickets in advance from the site. In this case you will be able to skip long queue.
Jenny LawJuly 1, 2015
Originally I thought it is only a small house. Turns out it has quite a lot to see. We arrived at 8:45am but still had to wait for 2.5h to enter. There was once that we passed by at 5 but saw no queue
Bruna PilotoJuly 21, 2013
The cue is always long during the summer. But the good thing is that it moves quite fast! I spent about 1h to get in. But inside the house was full of people. I advice to go during low season
Alex ValJune 15, 2016
A really sad place that teaches you a lot ! The experience was unforgettable but try to purchase some tickets online because the waiting line can be 2 hours long !
cvvhNovember 22, 2016
You won't be at the line more than 1 hour, and is worth to make it. House is small so don't take any back pack in.
Pablo HernándezDecember 31, 2015
Very interesting place, imbued with History and interesting facts about a girl and her family. Very silly thing though: they don't let you take pictures. Nonsense !
Werther VeulemansAugust 23, 2014
The best time to go is when it rains really hard. So the queue will be gone in no-time!
Eva BojorgesDecember 4, 2014
I was there on a monday morning and still had to wait in line for 30 minutes. Nevertheless it's worth it. I don't usually like museums but this one is very interesting. Very sad.
Danielle C.October 29, 2014
Get there before the museum opens, preferably at 8-8:30am, to avoid a horrendous line. A must-see attraction in Amsterdam. Takes about 2 hours not including wait time.
Jolande GriffioenJanuary 16, 2015
Very impressive, a museum you must see! Worth waiting in line although that might take a while. Try to order tickets online!
Grace SonMarch 10, 2013
Buy tickets online and come early around 9:30 to beat the veryyyy long queue. Definitely a worthwhile experience and makes you appreciate Freedom.
Balázs FAugust 12, 2014
The queue is extremely long, about 2 hours of waiting, but worth it. The staff provide free umbrellas in rain!
Joyce CdAugust 2, 2013
Make sure you reserve a time-slot via website! No waiting lines. They also offer 'family programs' with guided tours for just a little extra
亜米利加June 12, 2015
Buy a ticket in advance online and skip the long line. If you bought a ticket, just push the button with the orange arrow to be buzzed in.
Martina BrusatoreSeptember 25, 2019
If you are in amsterdam and you read the dairy you Have to come...but...something disapoint me...probably there are too many people and there is no time to really understand what3happened here
LeonAugust 11, 2017
Book your tickets online! Otherwise you can wait after 15:30 for 3h to get inside..
oliverAugust 1, 2017
book your tickets in advance to avoid the queue
Domnule ObzenJuly 22, 2015
If you read the book, prepare your heart... It's an interesting visit but really sad. A place that everyone should visit. Totally recommended.
Daniel HenaresJanuary 11, 2013
Be prepared for long lines, but it's a must visit museum. Here you will better understand Anne's days during the War. It's impossible don't be emotional, and don't admire their love for life.
Cian Mac MahonJanuary 11, 2016
Required visiting for tourists, and well worth the 40 minute long queue. But skip the queue by booking online and show up minutes before your tour rather than an hour.
Miguel AlmeidaMay 3, 2013
Buy tickets online to avoid the queues. Beware that online tickets are usually sold out 5 days in advance, so book before you travel or you'll end up in the queues!
Nick LimJuly 13, 2013
To beat the queue, buy your tickets online at least a week ahead, and a month ahead if you want the introductory programme that costs more.
Ann Marie EllisonOctober 9, 2016
Amazing but chilled cold place, very old and just wow has no word to describe! €8.50 to in! Must go there !! Emotional
Francisca García YañezOctober 27, 2017
Online online tickets to get here and no wifi to buy them in the place. You need to reserve first. Good thing it closes at 22:00
Deniz D.November 27, 2014
There won't be any queue if you go there early enough. Then you can enjoy a brunch at one of the nice cafes around.
SophiaJune 8, 2016
be prepared to wait in line for a long time - it's worth it!
