Overall
  • a somewhat perfunctory destination, but perhaps that was only
  • This is a quick tour that is an interesting and moving experience.
  • I highly recommend this museum to everyone.
  • this is not an exceptionally stimulating destination
  • It is an interesting museum that brings to life the diary
  • That struct me as sad and sweet at the same time.
  • The museum is fairly interesting
  • Sad but gripping tour of the house where Anne Frank lived.
  • Seeing the annex was a deeply touching experience.
  • Once I'd read about the Holocaust, this was a much more moving and memorable experience.
  • It is best to arrive as early as possible to avoid the huge crowds.
  • very crowded....This museum is harrowing, particularly
  • This museum is moving and informative.
  • Afterward, for a genuine local experience, walk along the Prinsengracht and visit the Noordermarkt.
  • I would recommend this museum whole-heartedly --
  • Our visit was solemn and very educational.
  • A very moving experience, especially since I am Jewish.
  • Amazing experience, very moving.
  • This Museum with a Story is where Anne Frank and seven others lived in hiding during the time of the persecution of Jews during WWII.
  • It is very hard to visit here without being affected in some way by what happened, not only here, but across Europe at that time.
  • At the risk of losing credits on ratings, I do not find photos appropriate for this tour.
  • For those who have read the book, it is an amazing place to visit.
  • this tour of the house is far more moving.
  • It was certainly a glimpse back in time, and a great place to reflect and learn.
  • Older people who have problems with mobility might have a hard time navigating the narrow stairs up.
  • Crowded.
  • I would HIGHLY recommend this wonderful and educational tour!
  • I found the whole experience very moving and would recommend a visit to anyone.
  • There are many more interesting places to visit in Amsterdam (Van Gogh museum, the Dungeon, Rijskmuseum, Rembrandt museum).
Value
  • The price didn't seem too steep to me, we were in the house for probably 1.5 hours.
Service
  • The Rough Guide does a nice job of characterizing the Anne Frankhuis (Museum) in the context of the entire neighborhood.
Facilities
  • her bed room was a decent size
  • There are little descriptions in these rooms to illustrate how the rooms fit into the diary.
  • The most moving room is by far and away Anne's room --
  • The gift shop is well stocked
  • Anne and her sister died of typhus in the notorious Belsen concentration camp only a week before the German surrender.
  • The rooms in the annex are maintained in their authentic state.
  • The gift shop has a nice collection of postcards and things as well.
  • The bathrooms are also kept very clean.
  • There's a very nice bookstore upon exit from the home's rooms.
  • moving, but might be more effective with furniture.
  • I found the size of the rooms striking, for so many to live in such a small space.
Atmosphere
  • You'll find the line long and full of Japanese and American tourists.
  • Be sure to come early as there is a long queue.
  • There tends to be long queues for this musuem during the day.
  • It is best to arrive as early as possible to avoid the huge crowds.
  • The tartan book was rather smaller than I imagined, a bit more faded
  • marvel at the church's beautiful interior and floor panels
  • This place has long lines and not much in the room.
  • the 1940s, the layout of the buildings would have made it difficult to detect, despite the fact
  • I recommend going early or late to avoid the lines.
  • I would suggest arriving early in the morning to avoid long lines.
  • Not only to avoid the queue but also the crowds within the house as it is very cramped in some places
Activities/Exhibits
  • I had read this extraordinary young womanÂ's story.
  • There is also a very good exhibit on discrimination.
  • In addition to the house itself, there is a very interesting exhibit of the editions of Ann Frank's diary.
  • I found her story fascinating as you got a real and chilling feeling of what this young talented writer's life was here.
  • I recommend getting the book on the Museum.
  • After the tour, there is an interesting interactive exhibit that allows you to see in more detail information about the people and house itself.
  • if the story was real or not.
  • The exhibition is stark Â---
  • The museum is very well set up with video screens telling the story as you pass through the halls and rooms.
  • The senses are overwhelmed by documents, official papers, and other genuine artifacts from the years in hiding.
  • For those who have read the book, it is an amazing place to visit.
  • The gift shop has a nice collection of postcards and things as well.
  • Overall I would recommend this activity to everyone.

Views
  • a visit may well challenge your views on things.
