Getting around Amsterdam

This line provides the fastest direct connection from Amsterdam Centraal Station to the RAI (alight at Europaplein station). You can also take Tram 4 from Amsterdam Centraal Station and alight at Europaplein.
From Amsterdam Zuid or Amstel Station, you can reach the RAI by Metro 51 (alight at Amsterdam RAI station) or by Bus line 62 (alight at Europaplein) or 65 (alight at Scheldeplein). Metro 50, which runs between Amsterdam Sloterdijk and Gein, also stops at the Amsterdam RAI station.

The Amsterdam RAI railway station is located a stone's throw from the RAI and has regular connections to all parts of the Netherlands, like Schiphol airport, Rotterdam, Utrecht, the Hague and is also linked to the international train network.
