Anne Frank House Amsterdam

While visiting Amsterdam you will be able to visit the homes of painters and poets and statesmen. Geniuses who have touched the world with their creativity once lived along this city's canals. But the home that seems to impact visitors most deeply did not even belong to its most famous resident. She never reached adulthood, never painted a masterpiece and never set out to be published. Yet her writings have been read by millions around the world. Anne Frank, like thousands of other Jews, hid with her family for two years in a tiny annex provided compassionate friends. During her confinement she kept a small diary, which was published after her death. Visiting the house where the Frank family stayed for that period of time is a sobering, deeply moving experience. Little has changed since Anne lived here. Her pictures still adorn the walls of her cramped room. This is one of Amsterdam's most popular attractions and, as a result, there is almost always a long wait. However, this is one spot that you do not want to miss during your stay.
