The Anne Frank House preserves the Secret Annex where Anne Frank and her family hid from 1942 to 1944, along with a permanent exhibition on her life and the Holocaust. It is Amsterdam's single hardest ticket to get: every ticket is sold online only, for a fixed date and time, and new tickets are released just once a week.
What to See: Top Highlights

Anne's diary
Original pages and artifacts from Anne Frank's diary are displayed within the permanent exhibition.
'Who's gone?' exhibition

Which Amsterdam Pass Includes the Anne Frank House?
Compare Amsterdam PassesThis is one of Amsterdam's clearest pass gotchas: neither the I amsterdam City Card nor any Go City Amsterdam pass includes the Anne Frank House at all — the museum's own ticket page lists the City Card explicitly as 'no discount', and Go City's Amsterdam attraction list only offers unrelated third-party walking tours that reference Anne Frank, not admission to the house itself. Museumkaart is the only pass that helps, reducing the price to the €1.00 booking fee — but cardholders still compete for the same scarce weekly ticket release as everyone else.
I amsterdam City Card — Total Experience
Not included. Confirmed directly on the museum's own ticket page: the I amsterdam Card entry under "Other entrance fees" reads "no discount."
Go City Amsterdam — All-Inclusive Pass
Not included. The museum itself is not on the list — only third-party products named "Anne Frank - Walking Tour" and "Anne Frank's Amsterdam - Walking Tour" are, which are unrelated walking tours, not admission to the house.
Museumkaart
Included. You must reserve your entry time directly with the official provider. Confirmed directly on the museum's own ticket page under "Other entrance fees": "Museumkaart: EUR 1.00*".
