Visit Prinsengracht 263

Your tour stops at Prinsengracht 263 where Anne Frank lived from 1934 until she and her family went into hiding in July 1942. The building, a typical Amsterdam canal house measuring approximately 70 meters in length, is now home to the Anne Frank House Museum. Visitors can explore the rooms of Anne's former home, including her bedroom and the secret annex where she hid for over two years. Built around 1635, this historic structure has been meticulously preserved to reflect its appearance during the Second World War period. The museum provides a unique insight into Anne's life through personal artifacts, letters, and photographs. Guests spend about an hour here delving deeply into the history of the Frank family and their experiences during the Nazi occupation.

Explore Montessori Schoolstraat

The school, founded in 1938 and named after Maria Montessori’s educational philosophy, offers a glimpse into the educational environment of wartime Amsterdam. This institution is significant as it was one of the few schools that remained open during the occupation despite strict regulations imposed by the Nazi regime. Visitors spend about 20 minutes here learning about Anne's early years and her education before she went into hiding. The school stands out for its historical importance in preserving the educational heritage of a challenging period.

Discover Amsterdam Resistance Museum

Your tour includes a visit to the Amsterdam Resistance Museum, a crucial site that documents the resistance against Nazi occupation during World War II. Located at Plantage Middenlaan 14, this museum covers approximately 800 square meters and features interactive exhibits, multimedia presentations, and personal stories from individuals who fought against oppression.
