This tour is in English only.
Every year, millions of people travel to Amsterdam to learn more of the story of Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl who lived in Amsterdam during WWII.
Walking the last part of the route Anne and her family took on their journey to the hiding place on Prinsengracht, you will hear how Anne Frank and her family hid from the Nazis. Using extracts from her diaries, you will discover what life was like during World War II and what Anne saw and felt from her refuge in the secret annex.
At the end of the walking tour, you can enjoy a drink (included) at a cafe near the Anne Frank House. Here you will enter the secret annex with the help of a Virtual Reality simulation of the House made by the Anne Frank Foundation. Unlike the actual house, the VR house has the furniture and belongings in place, allowing you to feel of how it was like to live there for two years during Nazi occupation.
One of the benefits of visiting the Anne Frank House with virtual reality is that you avoid the crowds of people visiting the house. You'll have the virtual house to yourself, to explore at your own pace. We believe this offers the closest experience you can get to visiting the secret annex without entering the actual house.
