I thought our tickets were for May 13 but actually were for May12. A kind gentleman still allowed us in for the tour. Visit was memorable for my wife and I as we walked on the same floors and stairs as Anne and her family did. We were sad and angry that such a talented young girl would never realize that she became an accomplished author just as she planned. It was a remarkable tour. Thank you.

Semplice, intuiitivo l'acquisto dei biglietti, anche se per la disponibilità il rilascio cadenzato dei biglietti costringe ad una attenta pianificazione per poterli prendere nella data desiderata . La casa di Anna Frank è una visita molto toccante accompagnata da un buon sistema di audioguida. Da non perdere.

Having read Anne's diary, it brought the annexe to life, just wish that it had been furnished as it was, this would have given us a much better feeling of what it would have been like to experience living in such close quarters for such a long time.
