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
