The Tuesday Rule is the only way to get the tickets you require:
So on Tuesday 7th July, tickets go on sale for the week Monday 17th August to Sunday 23rd August.
The Anne Frank House is a tiny 17th-century canal house with a narrow staircase to the Secret Annex. The museum hosts around 1.2 million visitors a year, but demand from every continent is much higher.
In spring and summer (April to September) and on weekends, popular slots (around late morning and early afternoon) can be sold out in two to three minutes after release. Off-season and evening slots stay available for longer, although they also sell out after a few days.
If there is nothing available once you reach the booking page, don’t worry. Try refreshing the page.
Come back between 10.30 and 11 am. Tickets often become available as the queue clears. Do not give up at the first empty page. Often, people have tickets in their shopping cart and then don’t buy them, so they are returned to availability.
Ensure that you are on the English, not the Dutch page. This should have /en after the website. Or you can select the language in the top right corner. This is the correct link to the English language ticket site. https://www.annefrank.org/en/museum/tickets/choose-your-ticket/
There is no waiting list. Once a date sells out, no further tickets are released. These are the two reliable alternatives.
This is your best chance at still getting inside the house. When you book at least 7 weeks before your visit, we have a strong track record of securing Anne Frank House tickets as part of the tour (subject to the house being open on that date). If your required visit date is less than 7 weeks away, we have a high success rate in securing tickets, up to 13 days before the visit.
You also get a highly-rated, private guided walk through Amsterdam’s Jewish Quarter and the story behind Anne Frank’s diary.
A small-group walking tour following part of Anne Frank’s final route through Amsterdam. Ending with an immersive Virtual Reality visit to the Secret Annex, as it was in 1942, including furniture. Many guests say that the furnished VR rooms give more insight than the empty rooms inside the actual house.
This tour is independent of the museum. Available daily. Bookable even at short notice.

The Anne Frank House is a small 17th-century canal house with a very limited daily visitor capacity of around 1.2 million people per year. Demand from visitors across the world is much higher than supply. In peak season (April to August), morning slots often sell out in two to three minutes after the 10 am release.
No. The museum only sells tickets via annefrank.org. There are no walk-in tickets, no on-site sales, and no ticket resellers. Any website other than annefrank.org selling Anne Frank House tickets is unofficial.
No. The I Amsterdam City Card cannot be used for entry to the Anne Frank House. Tickets must be purchased separately through annefrank.org.
Tickets cost €16.50 for adults, €7 for visitors aged 10 to 17, and €1 for children under 10. All prices include a €1 booking fee. A 30-minute introductory programme is available for an additional €7 per ticket.

If the tickets sell out at 10 am, it is worth refreshing the page around 10:30 am, as small numbers of tickets reappear as the queue clears. There is no official waiting list.
There are two reliable options.
First, book a private Anne Frank and Jewish History tour with Amsterdam Experiences, where we help you to secure official tickets via the official channel as part of the tour. When booked 7 or more weeks ahead of the time of visit, we have a high success rate of securing tickets.
Second, join Anne Frank’s Last Walk and Secret Annex VR: a guided walk through Anne Frank’s Amsterdam ending with an immersive Virtual Reality visit to the fully furnished Secret Annex. Independent of the museum and available daily. Last-minute slots are often available.
Yes. For many visitors the surrounding neighbourhood is itself a meaningful experience. A guided walk with access to the Secret Annex in Virtual Reality actually shows you spaces and furniture that the real museum no longer has. This is because the rooms inside the house are kept empty out of respect for Otto Frank’s wishes. Many guests tell us the VR experience gives more insight into the family’s hidden life than the empty rooms inside the building.
No. There are no skip-the-line tickets for the Anne Frank House. Every ticket has a timed entry slot, which reduces queues.
