HOW TO GET THERE


Excellent accessibility

Amsterdam RAI is only ten minutes away from Schiphol International Airport and has its own train station. The RAI is situated alongside Amsterdam’s A10 ring motorway (exit S109) and has its own underground parking. Surrounded by a park, pavement cafés and restaurants, the RAI Exhibition and Congress Centre is also just a few minutes away from the heart of Amsterdam, with its lovely canals and countless attractions.
For routeplanner navigate to: Europaplein, 1078 GZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

By air

You can reach Amsterdam RAI from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol by car or public transport in less than 15 minutes. Schiphol Airport is one of Europe's biggest airports and offers passengers a high standard of service. This includes digital service. Your relaxed business trip starts with a visit to Schiphol.nl. This website provides up-to-date information about flights (Schiphol Travel Update), transport to Amsterdam Rai (Schiphol Travel Taxi), booking a ticket and booking a rental car (Reisbureau Schiphol TravelPort), and also about exclusive and inexpensive shopping (See Buy Fly Pre order). For information about the business facilities at the airport and all kinds of useful travel tips as well as additional information and services, quickly make your way to Schiphol.nl!

By Train

NSThe intercity trains from Roosendaal/Belgium connect at Schiphol with trains going to the Amsterdam RAI station. At Schiphol you can change trains on the same platform. The fastest way to reach the RAI if you are coming from Arnhem/Germany, is to take the train to Amsterdam Duivendrecht station. Here you can change trains for the Amsterdam RAI station. There are also direct connections with the Amsterdam RAI station from Rotterdam, The Hague, Leiden, Weesp, het Gooi and the Flevo polders.

By Car/Motor

Amsterdam RAI has extensive parking facilities in and around the Amsterdam RAI. Nonetheless, during major public events the parking capacity is insufficient and we also use areas for parking slightly further afield. From here free shuttle buses regularly run to and from the Amsterdam RAI complex.

When approaching Amsterdam on the A1 (Amersfoort/Amsterdam), A2 (Utrecht/Amsterdam) or A4 (The Hague/Amsterdam) motorways, the route to the Amsterdam RAI car parks will be indicated on the A10 ring road.
You will be directed to the parking areas by means of road signs on the road or by the local police. Visitors to public events are advised to use public transport. The NS Amsterdam RAI train station is just a five-minute walk from the Amsterdam RAI exhibition centre.

Preferred Parking
During certain events, the RAI parking garages are only accessible to people with a Preferred Parking ticket. Preferred Parking guarantees you a space in the RAI and means you can always drive straight here even when the road signs state that P-RAI is full. A Preferred Parking ticket is valid on a specific day for a single entrance and exit of the car park. It costs € 20.00 per day. Preferred Parking tickets are only sold prior to events on www.ticketservice.rai.nl and are sent by post.

No Preferred Parking
Follow the road signs to one of the designated parking areas on the outskirts of the city. Shuttle buses will be ready to take you to the exhibition. The parking costs are € 13.00 for a maximum of 24 hours, including a return trip with the shuttle bus. Parking tickets to exit the car park are available at the registers near the entrance to the exhibition.

Maximum headroom in garages is 1.90 metres.
People with an official disabled pass can report to the Congress garage porter. Follow the ‘Parkeren Congres - P7’ signs.
