Getting to the RAI Amsterdam

If you’re flying into Schiphol Airport for a show, Amsterdam’s transport links make getting to the venue and into the city quick and stress-free. A few handy tips we always share with clients and teams:

✈️ Airport → RAI Amsterdam
The fastest option is the train from Schiphol to Amsterdam Zuid (approx. 7 minutes), followed by a short tram or metro ride to RAI. 🚋
Taxis are also readily available 🚕 and take around 15–20 minutes outside peak times.

🏙️ RAI → City Centre
Tram 4 and 12 run directly from RAI into the city, stopping at key central locations.
The Metro (lines 52, 50, 51) 🚇 provides a fast connection to Central Station and popular neighbourhoods.

🧭 Getting Around
Public transport in Amsterdam is reliable and easy to use - contactless payments 💳 and day passes 🎟️ make moving between meetings, venues and the city seamless.

Efficient travel means more time on the show floor and more time to enjoy the city once the doors close.
