Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, is a few kilometers south of the city. Every 10 minutes a train will take you from the airport to Amsterdam Central Station in 20 minutes, full fare single trip: EUR 3,10.
Excellent accessibility
The RAI Exhibition and Congress Centre is the perfect venue for
exhibitions, conferences, seminars and other events. This is partly due to
its excellent accessibility, both from within the Netherlands and from
abroad, on public and private transport alike.
Amsterdam RAI has its own railway station and is less than ten minutes travelling time by train from Schiphol Airport. Although the RAI Exhibition and Congress Centre is located on the outskirts of Amsterdam, the city centre with its attractive canals, pavement cafés, tourist attractions and a wide range of entertainment is just fifteen minutes away by public transport. The express trams are ideal for longer journeys within the city boundaries, and the ordinary trams stop right in front of the RAI and provide a quick and convenient service to all parts of Amsterdam.
And last but not least, Amsterdam RAI has its own harbour on the side of
the complex that borders on the park. This provides a direct connection to
Amsterdams extensive canal network.

By
Car
The RAI is ideally suited for visitors who come by car. It is situated alongside the Amsterdams A10 orbital motorway (exit S109) and has its own underground car parks. This means that the RAI is easily accessible for visitors coming from the Netherlands or abroad. All the main motorways can be reached without difficulty from the orbital motorway.
Numerous signboards indicate repeatedly to the RAI. During large exhibitions orange signs displaying P RAI will direct you to additional parking places. From there a free shuttle bus will bring you to the RAI.
