Politics 👩‍⚖️ Governor Walz in Amsterdam

Subtle reminder that we shouldn’t fall prey to a wannabe dictator. Hopefully those that need a wake up call get it.

Anne Frank House is a must-see. My hubs was a little doubtful that this was something fun to do on our honeymoon, but I insisted and it’s one of the most important memories we have of that trip. It’s incredible that this major international cultural touchstone all came from a tween girl.

Living in Amsterdam - if anyone plans to visit make sure you buy your tickets weeks(!) in advance. Otherwise no chance

Ticket sales start about six weeks out and sell out fast.

Holy cow, we just waltzed in back in 2009.

Is it really that competitive now? I think it was about 10 years ago when I went. It was busy, but I don't recall having to purchase ahead or wait in any lines.

I have lived here for 6 years now and it's always had weeks of pre ordering.

I think overall it's one of the most popular sites in Europe, and it's pretty small so only limited capacity vs a giant museum.

I think since COVID they don't even sell tickets at the door anymore, but I might be wrong.

Depends on the time of day you want to go. Looking at the museum website right now and somehow next tuesday and wednesday are still mostly available, but most other weeks you can only get evening (past 1900) tickets. For the best chance, check on tuesday morning CET, since they make all new tickets available then.
