Walking Tour: The Anne Frank story and Neighborhood

Step beyond the pages of a world-famous diary with the "Walking Tour: The Anne Frank Story and Neighborhood." Designed for young adults and experienced travelers alike, this guided walk offers an intimate look at Anne Frank’s life before and after her time in hiding.

Explore Amsterdam’s southern neighborhoods, tracing Anne’s journey from her arrival as a young girl fleeing Frankfurt to her happiest days on Merwedeplein square. The tour leads you past her school, the bookstore where she bought her diary, and the home of Miep Gies—the family friend who safeguarded Anne’s writings. Along the way, you’ll discover the area’s innovative 1920s-30s architecture and urban design, providing context to Anne’s formative years.

Unlike standard tours, this experience does not visit the Anne Frank House in the city center. Instead, it offers a more personal narrative, connecting you to places often overlooked by tourists. The unique selling point of this walking tour is its ability to weave history and local flavor into a moving, off-the-beaten-path exploration of Amsterdam’s past.
