About

Join in a walking tour and get to know the neighbourhood where Anne Frank and her family lived. Follow in Anne’s footsteps as she walked to her elementary school, to her favourite lunchroom, where her friends lived and played. But you will also learn about rarely known details of the wartime in Amsterdam, and get to know the places that played a part in the lives of the Frank family. You will also learn about Anne’s sister, Margot. E.g. did you know that she also kept a diary, but what happened to it?

You are not compelled to do the entire walk, if you want to leave the tour at any time your guide will direct you to the nearest point of public transport.
