I recently had the opportunity to visit the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam, which is a subject that has fascinated me for a long time. I was certainly not disappointed with the experience, but generally speaking I'm not sure how interesting the outing would be for the average tourist. Getting to the Anne Frank Museum was a bit different for me, as I had decided to rent a little canal pedal bike with a friend, and the stop was directly outside of the attraction. There was however some parking not too far away, perhaps 300 metres, so it would be possible to park. There are otherwise good transport links. Despite going at a very busy time of time, ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review The Anne Frank House (408 words)
by - written on 06/04/09 (Very useful, 50 readings)

The Anne Frank House, on the Prinsengracht, was the foremost in my mind, when I visited Amsterdam. The place I had wanted to visit for over thirty years. Ever since I had first read "The Diary of Anne Frank". It is hard to imagine this quiet canalside street, echoing with the clatter of jackboots on the cobblestones, and the harsh, guttural commands as Dutch Jews were herded from their homes and onto trucks bound for who knew where? The tree-lined street looks to have changed little in the fifty years since. Other than the constant lines of people waiting to pay homage to a young girl whose life was cut tragically short by one of the greatest crimes against ...  Read the complete review

Express Review on Anne Franks House

Spent a great hour here but made the mistake of going in the afternoon which meant huge queues. I advise you get there as it opens at 10am. It is quite expensive to get in.

Premium Review Anne Frank's house in Amsterdam, a visit to remember (1269 words)
by - written on 06/03/08 (Very useful, 84 readings)
Rating:

Having a strong interest in history, one of the first places I wanted to visit in my weekend trip to Amsterdam was Anne Frank's house. Anne Frank's diaries are famous the world over, telling her story of when she, her family and another family, stayed in hiding in an attic in a house in Amsterdam. She wrote the diaries to occupy herself during her long days in the house and she recorded her inner-most thoughts about her life and that of the others in hiding. The building is situated on the Prinsengracht, next to one of the canals in central Amsterdam. Signing for locations in Amsterdam I found to be generally quite poor, but the signing for the Anne ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Anne Franks House: Moving museum (1573 words)

Rating:

I visited Anne Frank's House on a visit to Amsterdam last week. 6 of us went on the trip and the only thing that we all agreed we wanted to see was Anne Frank's House. I wanted to see it, as being a historian this was one of the most important sites in the city. Others had read the book or even just heard Anne mentioned in passing. The thing was that everyone knew something about the story of Anne, which is pretty remarkable in itself, that a small girl's diary could become so famous. THE BACKGROUND: Most people will know at least the basics of Anne's story, but here's a reminder. Anne was a Jew, living with her father, mother and sister in ...  Read the complete review
