Anne Frank House
Jordaan, Amsterdam, Netherlands; Westermarkt 20, 1016 DK Amsterdam
The Anne Frank House is one of Amsterdam’s most consequential historic museums, connecting a specific canal-side address with one of the best-known personal testimonies of the Second World War. Official information states that the former hiding place is at Prinsengracht 263, while the museum entrance is around the corner at Westermarkt 20. A visit centres on the story of Anne Frank, the Secret Annex and the persecution of Jews during the occupation, giving this site an importance that is both local and international. It is not a large museum in the sense of a broad art collection, but its historical force is exceptional. Access is carefully managed and should be treated as time-specific rather than casual walk-up sightseeing. The official ticketing system says visits are booked with a start time, tickets are sold only through the Anne Frank House ticket website, and new tickets are released each Tuesday at 10.00 CEST for visits six weeks later. If a date shows no availability, the museum states that it is sold out and does not operate a waiting list. Official contact and group-visit pages confirm the public museum’s Amsterdam address and current visitor use, supporting it as an operating, book-ahead attraction in the Jordaan and canal-belt area rather than a private house or guided-tour-only site.
