Metro 52 will take you from Amsterdam Centraal Station to RAI Amsterdam (Europaplein station) in just eight minutes and stops in front of the RAI complex.

BY TAXI

Every taxi company can bring you to RAI Amsterdam and will drop you of as close as possible to the entrance of the event. For logistical reasons, RAI Amsterdam only allows TCA taxis on the premises to pick up visitors. At some events the TCA taxis are already waiting at the entrance of the event. If there are no taxis waiting, the reception desk can call one for you.

If you would like to use another taxi, then the pickup point will be outside the RAI area.

BY TRAIN

Arriving by train

Have you consider traveling to Amsterdam by train instead of plane? Choosing train transport can cost you less, be more comfortable and will have lower carbon footprint.
