Practical details - travel, hotels, times

The International Rental Exhibition takes place at the RAI Exhibition Centre on the outskirts of Amsterdam city centre.

Travel Information
The venue is very close to the A10 orbital motorway - use exit S-109 to get the exhibition centre. There is car parking at the venue.

There is a direct train link to the Amsterdam RAI station from Schiphol Airport (travel time is about 15 minutes).

Within Amsterdam, you can travel using trams or taxis. From Amsterdam Central Station, take the Amstelveen express tram 51 to Amsterdam RAI station (travel time 12 minutes) or tram 4 to RAI Europaplein (travel time 30 minutes). There are tram stops close to the RAI exhibition centre that will take you back into the city.
