Anne Frank's Childhood Hometown Small Group Walking Tour

Attraction Highlights

The Anne Frank Childhood Neighbourhood Small Group Walking Tour is a unique experience that blends historical remembrance with cultural exploration. The tour starts in the afternoon and is conducted in a small group format to ensure an intimate and engaging experience while respecting the sensitivity of historical events. Along the way, you will follow in the footsteps of Anne Frank’s childhood, visiting key landmarks that were significant to her — including the school she attended, the Blankevoort bookshop where her famous diary was purchased, and the former home of Miep Gies, who sheltered Anne’s family. You will also venture into the southern part of Amsterdam to explore colonial‑era buildings constructed under revolutionary urban planning concepts from the 1920s‑30s, gaining insight into the social housing ideals and architectural styles of that time. During the guided tour, the stories of Anne and her family, as well as the tragic history of the Jewish community in Amsterdam during the Holocaust, will be thoroughly recounted, allowing participants to deeply understand the life and historical background of this diarist Holocaust Encyclopedia.
