The Anne Frank House is sold out for our dates. What can we do?
First, try the release: tickets are sold only online and new ones go on sale every Tuesday at 10:00 Amsterdam time for visits about six weeks later, at €16.50 for adults, booking fee included. If that fails, Amsterdam still tells Anne's story elsewhere: her family's home at Merwedeplein in the Rivierenbuurt, with her statue on the square; the National Holocaust Museum and the Holocaust Names Monument in the Jewish Cultural Quarter; and, about 2 h 21 away by car, Kamp Westerbork, where she was held before her deportation. A three-hour car loop through the city sites costs €195 in Business Class.
