BY TRAM, METRO & BUS
In order to support respect the environment and for example prevent higher air pollution, we would like to recommend attendees take advantage of the city’s public transport system to travel to / from the RAI Amsterdam venue:
Tram 4 runs between the centre of Amsterdam, Amsterdam Central and the RAI (stop at Europaplein).
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.
From Amstel Station you can reach us by taking Metro 51 to the RAI station or bus 62 (stop Europaplein). Metro 50 operates the route between Amsterdam Sloterdijk and Gein, and also stops at the RAI station.
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.
