    Took me 3 years to finally accept the fact i will have to wait in a never ending line in a rain, wind and 1000 of other people waiting but it was totally worth it-amazing feeling to see what u read.

    Don't stand in the queue! Buy your tickets online, they sell them by the hour, and skip the super long line! Enter on the door to the left. Self-guided tour, very insightful

    Book tickets online, during the week, in the evening. We got tickets for Wed. 6pm--waltzed right in, small crowd throughout.

    Free wifi in front of the museum entrance. When you're finishing your visit don't forget to look behind the curtains across the gift shop for a small cinema piece.

    A nostalgic walk down the house occupied by Anne Frank and her family in Amsterdam. Lovely audio and pictures take us back in time to what the conditions were then.

    You can get tickets day off if you are persistent about checking the website every single hour

    A must go when in Amsterdam. To see what she and her family went through was both heartbreaking and inspiring.

    The line will be long so prepare to join the flaky wifi. They security inside are quiet annoying about having the backpack on your frontside. Also disappointing that you don't go into the attic.

    It was an interesting experience, but I do suggest to go at a time when there are less people. I did not enjoy feeling pressured to rush through each room.

    This place is amazing! If you come to Amsterdam, visit it. This house is steeped in history and feelings! Brasileiros, venham... linda história. Abraços de uma descendente de holandeses orgulhosa. :)

    The museum is pretty nice. The exposition can get very emotional so be prepared. If you read the book then you will recognize many things.

    Book your tickets months in advance, if you can! And if not, it is definitely worth the wait.

    Ended WWII, the Anne Frank House was condemned to demolition in the 50's. Fortunately, the building has been protected from demolition and now is one of the most visited spots in Amsterdam, Read more

    Queuing up first thing in the morning is the best bet if you didn't pre-purchase tickets online. Arriving at 9 took us one hour in the queue.

    Either buy your ticket months in advance or arrive very early and wait in line! Waited over an hour to get into the house. It's very interesting but there's not very much to see.

    The home of Anne Frank. If you can go during the week day, you can avoid the large lineups.

    It is a dramatic and real story, naturally so impressive museum. After I left there, I was upset for several days...

    No cameras allowed inside. Stairs are steep which may be trouble for elderly. Bottlenecking in some rooms due to video presentations, but overall still worth a visit.

    Impressive atmosphere, very impactful place. The natural silence of the visitors is a reflection of the terrible realities of the stories told inside.

    Don't come during the weekend if you don't want to waste your time queueing. The queueing is happening outside and inside of the house. There is no limit on how many people can go in.

    Try to buy your ticket online or visit the house after 8pm ! There should be a little bit less people in the line.

    Different type of museum that shows an interesting story but highly overrated. However the que is scary so be sure to book your online ticket before visiting.

    You should take a cup of coffee and to stay seeing waterway at the coffee shop. That's really great!

    Grab a brochure and read through it. The brochure covers basically all you are going to read inside without needing to queue and shuffle along the somewhat boring museum.

    Make sure to get your ticket online early. Otherwise it's between trying your luck at getting it online last minute, or waiting for hours - which is not worth.
