Best time to visit the Anne Frank House

Weekday vs Weekend

Try to plan your visit to the Anne Frank Museum on a weekday instead of the weekend as crowds tend to be smaller.
However, if you cannot visit during the week, book your tickets for a Sunday, as Sundays are less crowded than Saturdays.
Avoid visiting the Anne Frank Museum at the opening hour as the queues can be very long. Instead, try to visit during the evening.
You can also arrive 2-3 hours before closing time as most of the crowd will have reduced by then.
