How to get there
Amsterdam offers excellent connectivity by train, tram, car, and air — making it easy for international delegates to reach the conference.
Airport access: Amsterdam Airport Schiphol
Fast rail connections to the city
- Schiphol Airport has a train station directly below the airport terminal area.
- Official Schiphol guidance advertises train travel to Amsterdam Centraal in about 14-17 minutes.
- Taxis and ride-hail services are available, but city traffic can increase journey times.
Rail: Amsterdam Centraal and national trains
Main arrival hub for many delegates
- Amsterdam Centraal is the principal central rail station for many domestic and international arrivals.
- Delegates can connect onward by tram, metro, bus, ferry, taxi or walking depending on accommodation and the final venue address.
- Use the NS or local journey planner before travel for platforms, disruptions and accessibility updates.
Metro, tram, bus and ferry
Integrated public transport across Amsterdam
- GVB operates Amsterdam tram, metro, bus and ferry services.
- Metro line 52 and multiple tram routes are useful for travel between the centre, Museumplein, De Pijp, RAI and Amsterdam Noord.
- Check ticket type, contactless payment options and live service notices before conference days.
Walking and cycling
Useful for short central journeys
- Amsterdam is compact, and many central hotels, cafés and museums are reachable on foot.
- Cycling is common, but visitors should use marked cycle lanes, follow local rules and ride only if confident in busy urban traffic.
- For delegate transfers with luggage or accessibility needs, public transport or taxis may be easier.
Driving, parking and P+R
Use parking only where practical
- Central Amsterdam parking can be limited and expensive.
- The City of Amsterdam notes a low-emission zone with the A10 ring road as a key boundary.
- Consider official P+R locations outside the centre and continue by public transport.
- Confirm hotel parking, vehicle rules and local restrictions before bringing a car.
