Need info. on Anne Frank House Tours
I was planning on visiting the Anne Frank House first thing in the morning to avoid the long lines, but now I will be visiting in the afternoon. How much time do I need to allow for the tour? How late should I line up in order to make it in the house by closing time? Can you take photographs inside? <BR> <BR>Also, does anyone know the admission price and hours of the Heineken Brewery? My guide book is a little old and mentioned it was closed (at the time of printing) so information was given on it. <BR> <BR>Thanks for any help

The Anne Frank House is very small, however, there is a small museum next door where there is a film and library. In the afternoon, I would allow an hour in case there are lines, and one to one and a half hours for a visit (assuming you would watch the film). It is very worthwhile to view the film. As I recall you can take photographs, however, the rooms are very dark. You'd be better off buying a selection of postcards there.

<BR>the Anne Frank house closes at 5pm, so be in line by 3:30 at the latest. You can see most everything in about 30 minutes. The Heineken Brewery admission is only about 50 cents, open Mon-Fri 9am - 2:30pm, 6 guided tours in summer (May-Sep) & 3 morning tours only in other months. You get a free beer at the end, so actually you come out ahead financially.

The Heineken Museum was closed for a long time but is now reopened as the Heineken Experience. It's now self guided and open from 10:00 to 18:00 Tuesday to Sunday. Last tickets are sold at 17:00 for 11 NLG or about US $4.50 <BR>check out http://www.heinekenexperience.com/faq.html

The Anne Frank House is definitely owrth a visit. I was there in August and NO, you are not allowed to take photos inside the museum. The whole tour should take about 1 1/2 hrs to be meanignful. You shouldn't be deterred by the lines because it moves pretty fast. When I was there, there was a queue in the rain about a block from the museum but we got in after about a 15 mins wait. It looks long outside because but it moves pretty fast.
