When does booking open?

Every Tuesday at 10:00 CET, for visits six weeks later. The official tickets page states this window in CET. Amsterdam observes CEST in summer, so check what 10:00 local means where you are. On the Tuesday of a release, the whole visit week that starts six weeks later opens at once.

How far ahead is that?

Six weeks ahead, released one week at a time.

Only on annefrank.org (the tickets page links into the museum's own shop). The museum warns that look-alike sites sell invalid tickets or aim at card fraud, and that commercial Anne Frank House tours do not include entry. Bank or credit card only.

Yes, and fast. The museum says demand exceeds the number of tickets and that tickets sell out very fast. Once a date shows as sold out, it is sold out; there is no waiting list and no ticket sales inside the museum.

Can I cancel or change?

No refunds and no date or time changes once bought, including for transport problems, travel advice or personal circumstances. The only refund the museum states is if a visitor must leave during an unannounced safety drill or a genuine evacuation and cannot return the same or next day on the same ticket. Resale without the museum's permission is not allowed.

Can I buy Anne Frank House tickets on the day?

No. Tickets are sold online only, in the Tuesday release for visits six weeks later. There is no ticket sales desk inside the museum.

Is there a minimum age?

The museum maintains a minimum age of 10 years and says the museum is not suitable for younger children; parents decide if a child is ready. Children under 12 must visit with an adult. A 0 to 9 ticket is still sold for 1.00 euro.

How long does a visit take?

About an hour on average. Only the start time is fixed; once inside, you can stay as long as you like.

How to book

Be online at 10:00 CET on the Tuesday six weeks before your visit week. The tickets page is at annefrank.org/en/museum/tickets/, and the shop is only reached from that site.

Buy a timed slot for everyone in the party, including children. As of November 2026, adults pay 16.50 euros, ages 10 to 17 pay 7.00 euros, and ages 0 to 9 pay 1.00 euro, each including a 1.00 euro booking fee. A Dutch Museumkaart needs a free reservation and pays only the 1.00 euro fee. The I amsterdam Card and a student card give no discount.

You can add a 30-minute introductory program in English or Dutch for an extra 7.00 euros per person (from age 10). The audio tour is included with every visit and runs in nine languages, including English, Dutch, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish. A visit takes about an hour on average, and you can stay as long as you like after your start time.

The museum is at Prinsengracht 263-267; the entrance is around the corner at Westermarkt 20. It is about a 20-minute walk from Amsterdam Central Station, or about 10 minutes from Dam Square. From 15 February 2025 to February 2028 there is no tram to Westermarkt; take a tram to Dam and walk. Opening hours are usually 9:00 to 22:00, with shorter days on some holidays and a closed day for Yom Kippur (21 September 2026).

If it’s sold out

Try another day in the same release week, or wait for the next Tuesday's release for a later week. There is no waiting list and no same-day sale at the museum.

Do not buy from a look-alike site or a tour seller that claims Anne Frank House entry. The museum says tickets are only sold through annefrank.org, and resold tickets can be refused.

If several of you bought tickets together and one seat is free, you cannot add a person to that order; check the shop again for a separate ticket on the same day.

Booking for a group

Buy every seat in one order on the sale morning so the group can enter together. Tickets can all be in one buyer's name, as long as that buyer is present at the visit.

For a larger party, book the museum's introductory program for groups (30 minutes) or an educational program for schools. Groups larger than 35 should split into two bookings. Program fees and entry must be paid in advance by credit card or iDEAL.

The museum asks parents to treat 10 as the minimum age; it says the museum is not suitable for younger children, even though a 0 to 9 ticket is sold. Children under 12 must visit with an adult. Children aged 10 to 15 can use the Anne's Story audio tour.

Good to know

Set an alarm for 10:00 Amsterdam time on the right Tuesday, and have cards ready; slots go quickly.
Bags larger than an A4 sheet, large backpacks and suitcases cannot come in; the free cloakroom has limited space, so leave luggage at the hotel or at Amsterdam Central Station.
Photography and filming are not allowed inside, including with smart glasses.
The Secret Annex and the old part of the house have steep stairs and narrow passages; the modern wing is the accessible part.
Check the exceptions list before booking near King's Day, 4 May, Yom Kippur, Christmas or New Year; hours change and some days close.
