Join a small-group experience that leads you through the streets and stories of Anne Frank's early life in Amsterdam. This insightful walking tour traces the family's journey from Germany to Holland and explains the events that forced them into hiding, as well as the circumstances of their discovery. Far beyond the most familiar facts, the tour explores Anne's life before the Secret Annex and considers how her image has been interpreted and used as an icon over time. You will be shown locations of personal importance: the school Anne attended and the bookshop where she bought her diary, bringing to life ordinary places linked to extraordinary history. The route continues into the southern districts of Amsterdam, an area built in the 1920s and 1930s that showcases pioneering urban planning, progressive architecture and social housing concepts of the era. Walking these neighbourhoods gives context to Amsterdam's social and cultural development between the wars and provides a quieter, less-touristed perspective of the city. Knowledgeable commentary connects architecture, daily life and history to help you understand the world Anne Frank inhabited. Read more
