Amsterdam is connected by train, tram, metro, and bus networks and is also highly connected by bike lanes and dedicated bike roads. You can plan your trip on public transportation using the 9292.nl website or app on your phone. Cycling routes can be planned efficiently using Google Maps (Amsterdam public transportation is also integrated through Google Maps).
Traveling on public transportation requires a valid fare. All trams, trains, buses, and metros throughout the Netherlands use the OV-chipkaart electronic travel pass. You can purchase an OV-chipkaart at any major train station (including Schiphol Airport) or at the Amsterdam Central Station "Tickets and Info" counter. The OV-chipkaart itself costs €7.50 and can be topped up with credit via cash or a debit card at designated kiosks.
Buses, trams, and metro in Amsterdam are operated by the company GVB, and you can buy single use tickets for these through GVB directly. On buses and trams, fare can also be paid when you get on but must be paid by debit card. As of 2018, cash is no longer accepted on public transportation.
Schiphol Airport is located just outside Amsterdam. Connecting to the Amsterdam city center can be done by taxi (€40-50) or train (€4.30). The Schiphol train station is located just below the main plaza of the airport and trains to Amsterdam run every 10-15 minutes from 05:30 - 23:50 (and hourly after that). Check 9292.nl or the website of the train company NS.nl to plan your trip and calculate your fare.
The Thursday and Friday after the workshop, meeting space will be available at the Anton Pannekoek Institute for those wishing to remain in Amsterdam for the full week. We hope to provide a collaborative atmosphere to continue discussions after the workshop. The Anton Pannekoek Institute is across the street from the conference venue in the Science Park building complex.
If you would like to stay the entire week and require workspace at the API please indicate this in your registration form. Desk space on Thursday and Friday can only be guaranteed for those that indicate this at the time of registration. If you have already registered and need desk space please contact Emily Petroff as soon as possible.
