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.

If you arrive at Amsterdam Central Station (CS), you can take the Amstelveen express tram 51 (travelling time: 12 minutes, exit at the Amsterdam RAI station) or tram 4 (travelling time: 30 minutes, exit at the RAI Europaplein). If you are travelling by train to the Amstel station, you can take the Amstelveen express tram 51 (travellig time: 5 minutes) or the bus (route 15, 69 or 169), which will bring you to the RAI within 10 minutes. In this case you should get off at RAI Europaplein. From Amsterdam Sloterdijk station, the best way to reach the RAI is with express tram 50.
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.
