Travelling by Train

Consider taking the train to Amsterdam as a comfortable and more sustainable alternative to flying.

Amsterdam is well connected to many major European cities by high-speed rail. International train services such as the Eurostar and ICE offer direct connections to Amsterdam Centraal from cities including Paris, Brussels, London, Berlin and Cologne, with journey times of around 2–6 hours depending on the departure city. From Amsterdam Centraal, it is easy to continue your journey across the city by metro, tram or train.

For travellers coming from other parts of Europe, high-speed rail connections to Brussels, Paris or Berlin make it simple to connect onwards to Amsterdam.

Travelling by train not only reduces your carbon footprint compared to flying, but also allows you to arrive directly in the city centre and enjoy a comfortable journey along the way.

Once you arrive at the train station, please refer to the Travelling by Public Transportation section below for detailed instructions on how to reach the RAI.

Warning

Be wary of third parties offering hotel accommodation and registrations for EAU27. These companies give the impression that they are the official handling agency and deceive congress participants by using a range of tactics, often including unauthorised usage of the EAU logo. In some cases, congress participants have been led to believe that they had made a registration or booked a hotel, to find out that no registrations or hotel bookings were made whereas their credit cards were charged.

Congress Consultants B.V. is the only official congress organiser appointed by the EAU to handle registrations for EAU27.

K.I.T. Group has been appointed as the official local housing agency for EAU27
