Life of Anne Frank Walking Tour with Entry Tickets to Anne Frank House

Step back into 1940s Amsterdam on this deeply moving journey through the city’s wartime history. This experience pairs a comprehensive 2-hour guided walking tour of the Jewish Quarter with a self-guided visit to the Anne Frank House, offering a complete narrative of resilience, tragedy, and the enduring human spirit during the Nazi occupation.

Getting started

Your journey begins at the entrance of the Jewish Museum near Waterloo Square. Here, you’ll meet your expert English-speaking guide, who will set the stage for the afternoon by introducing the vibrant history of the Jewish community in Amsterdam before the shadow of World War II fell over the Netherlands.

What to expect

As you navigate the historic streets of the Jewish Quarter, your guide will weave together stories of bravery and loss. You’ll visit the Portuguese Synagogue, a 17th-century architectural marvel, and stand before the Hollandsche Schouwburg—once a grand theatre, later a somber deportation center. The tour concludes at the Anne Frank House, where you will transition from the city’s broader history to the intimate, heartbreaking story of the Frank family.
