The Anne Frank House is consistently one of the most-requested museum tickets in Amsterdam, and unlike many attractions, it releases tickets on a strict advance schedule rather than allowing significant walk-up entry.
Tickets release weeks ahead
The museum sells timed-entry tickets online starting roughly six weeks before the visit date, and popular dates and times can sell out within minutes of release.
A small same-day allotment exists
A limited number of same-day tickets are released online each morning, but demand for these is high and they are not a reliable way to plan a visit around.
Plan the visit itself
The museum recommends allowing about an hour for the visit, and the route through the building — including the hidden Secret Annex — is a fixed one-way path rather than a self-paced wander.
