Anne Frank House tickets and practical visit advice
The practical challenge is moving through a small historic building with steep stairs and limited space. Read the accessibility information before booking if anyone in your group has difficulty climbing. The entrance is on Westermarkt, rather than through the canal-facing front door, so locate it before your slot and bring only a small bag.

The best time to visit
Choose a slot that leaves you time to arrive without rushing from another booking. The compact route can feel busy at any time, so avoid scheduling an immediate departure or another attraction straight afterwards.
How to get to Anne Frank House
Westermarkt is the nearest tram stop. Walk a few minutes to the entrance on Westermarkt beside the canal house. From Centraal, allow roughly twenty minutes on foot and use the entrance directions supplied with your ticket.
Tips for your visit
- Check the official accessibility information: steep stairs form part of the historic house route.
- Leave large luggage elsewhere and confirm the current bag restrictions before traveling to the entrance.
- Photography is not allowed inside the museum; keep your phone put away during the visit.
