  • Public transport

    Amsterdam public transport is an excellent network consisting of metro, trams, buses and even train running 24/7.  You can order (multi)day tickets from the GVB website or simply use contactless payments to check in and out as you go. Google Maps is a reliable source of information about routes and departures.

    The conference venue is best reachable by tram 7 stopping directly in front of the campus, or by metro lines M51, M53 and M54 stopping at Weesperplein located only a 5-minute walk away. The journey from the Central Station (train) takes about 15 minutes and the airport is reachable in less than 45 minutes.

  • Weather

    The climate in Amsterdam is mild, but the weather can be fairly changeable. With the global temperatures rising, Amsterdam is no exception. You can expect temperatures from 25-30°C and occasional rainfall. The days during summer are also very long, with the sun rising before 5:30 and setting around 22:00. We recommend packing a rain jacket and a sleeping mask.

  • Tourism

    With the long summer days and pleasant temperatures attracting visitors from all over the world, Amsterdam turns into a buzzing hot spot. While this often means more attractions and activities for the tourists, make sure you book the tickets in advance as the popular options often get sold out.

  • Lunch tips near the venue

    Amsterdam is famous for its endless dining possibilities, but how do you choose from so many? Below we collected a few tips from our organizers:

    • Pita Chef. On the UvA premises, favored among students and staff, you won't make a mistake here.
    • Soupenzo. About 15 minutes from the venue. Hearty soups, salads and sometimes open sandwiches.
    • De Plantage or Burgermeester. Short walk from the venue. In case you fancy a proper sit-down restaurant. 
    • Albert Heijn. Supermarket, walking distance from the venue, offers standard groceries as well as ready-to-eat meals.
