An immersive new AI-guided walking tour in Amsterdam invites visitors to follow the footsteps of Anne Frank from 1941, offering a unique blend of narration and animations via smartphone.

The tour covers roughly seven kilometres and includes twelve stops that recreate the Jewish wartime experience.

Each waypoint features lifelike animations of historical figures like Miep Gies, who sheltered the Frank family, and other rescuers.

These are based on archival photographs and narratives, offering fresh insight into the bravery of ordinary citizens.

Designed by CityFans in collaboration with the Anne Frank Institute and the Holocaust Museum, the tour aims to complement the Anne Frank House, whose limited capacity often disappoints many visitors.

It delivers deeper context, personal stories, and valuable historical depth, all through a tech-savvy, self-paced experience.
