It was quite easy for us and interesting too. I think it too about 45 minutes, but we stopped and took pictures and meandered a bit. You probably need to be somewhat mobile. We walk well and a decent pace so no problem, but if you have issues, I can see it might be more difficult. We enjoyed meandering through all the side streets and canals of Amsterdam! Note however, there is a decent amount of construction work going on. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ontheweb Posted May 28, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Just to add, the experience of visiting the Anne Frank House is well worth it. It is an awe inspiring experience. Do not miss it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just_dont Posted May 29, 2022 #5 Share Posted May 29, 2022 If I remember, you could take a tram from the train station. Should be less than a 10 minute ride. You can buy tix at kiosks in front of the train station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ine Posted May 29, 2022 #6 Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) Yes certainly walkable. Be aware tickets to AF house are only for sale online, no more standing in line. Sales starts on the 1st Tuesday of a month for the next month. Tickets sell very fast!

Rare Scottishclover Posted June 23, 2022 #13 Share Posted June 23, 2022 You need to be in quick if you want to do the 30 minute museum talk beforehand. On the morning tickets came out, I forgot all about it and when I came home after work tickets for all of July were all sold out. We still managed to get tickets for a visit to the house though.

Dutch_Travelgirl Posted June 23, 2022 #14 Share Posted June 23, 2022 The tickets are usually released sometime in the morning, Amsterdam local time. Some people have reported that they could buy tickets the day before the first Tuesday of the month but that could have been a one time glitch.

Unfortunately they donot give the exact time of release as they are still often working and sometimes changing parts of their website. So indeed the best advise is given by dutch girl, keep trying as much and early as possible. I know time difference between The Netherlands and the US west coast is 9 hours, which might make it rather difficult what would be best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have released more, because late July shows some availability now. I have July 5th on my calendar to get tickets for our August visit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCJack Posted June 27, 2022 #17 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Like others we could not get tix for the guided tour, but regular admission tix were pretty available on that first Tuesday for the month. I would get the audio guide, it was very good. The walk to the Museum is very doable from the port and it is an enjoyable walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be a busy day! Yes, a busy and very enjoyable day. The Rijksmuseum, BTW, is basically next door to the Van Gogh Museum. You should try that too. And if you are a swimmer (like my DW), there is a pool near the Rijksmuseum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MICHE99 Posted August 8, 2022 #22 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I would suggest trying to go early in the morning. We went around 2pm and it was so very crowded that we asked to leave the group early. It was shoulder to shoulder and the group was not moving. This was pre-covid so perhaps they have made some changes to the number of people they take in.

XuGator Posted February 7, 2023 #24 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Uber is everywhere in Amsterdam. Just use that to get anywhere. There are canal cruise companies right in front of the Anne Frank House as well and you dont really need to prebook those either. They leave every 10-15 min Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the port was so far out (about 40 minutes), we pre-booked a taxi for pick-up and return. Used a consolidator - https://city-airport-taxis.com. The canal cruise was with https://flagshipamsterdam.com, but the poster above is correct. You can easily purchase tickets on the boats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
