Anne Frankhuis
Prinsengracht 263, Amsterdam 1016 GV +31 20 556 7100
Description:
WESTERN CANAL RING / JORDAAN. Thanks to her diary, the story of Anne Frank's hiding from the Nazis is a well-known historical event. Nevertheless, visitors to the actual building where she, her family and friends hid during the German Occupation will find themselves thrown into instant contemplation in the face of this tangible reminder. Once-hidden rooms still contain period memorabilia, along with the haunting presence of those who spent two years of their lives secreted behind walls, dreaming of eventual freedom. Although only Otto Frank, Anne's father, would realize that hope, the experience of the rest will never be forgotten. Come early – or in the evening – to avoid the lines at this humbling site. Hours: Mid Mar - Jun Sun-Fri 9am-9pm; Sat 9am-10pm Jul - Aug Daily 9am-10pm Sep - mid Mar Sun-Fri 9am-7pm; Sat 9am-10pm Admission: Adult €8.50; Student (10-17) €4; Child (0-9) Free
