The Anne Frank House is a museum on the Prinsengracht canal preserving the Secret Annex where Anne Frank and her family hid during the Second World War. Visits are by strict timed ticket, and the historic building has narrow stairs and tight spaces, so bags larger than a small handbag or A4 size are not allowed inside and there is no cloakroom for suitcases. Travelers carrying luggage will be turned away at the door and risk losing their slot. Storage partners around the Jordaan, Dam, and the canal ring sit only a few minutes' walk away. Dropping bags first lets visitors arrive ready for their timed entry, move easily through the confined annex, and continue afterward through the Jordaan's canals and cafés without carrying luggage.
