|
### How to reach Amsterdam Science Park
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Amsterdam Science Park is easy to reach by public transport. The train
|
|
|
|
station Science Park, as well as the bus stops, are indicated on the
|
|
|
|
[Amsterdam Science Park
|
|
|
|
map](http://www.amsterdamsciencepark.nl/fileadmin/user_upload/documents/Contact_and_route/Amsterdam_Science_Park.pdf)
|
|
|
|
.
|
|
|
|
The WR workshop will take place at the Amsterdam Science Park conference
|
|
|
|
halls (indicated by [Science Park 125 on the
|
|
|
|
map](http://www.amsterdamsciencepark.nl/fileadmin/user_upload/documents/Contact_and_route/Amsterdam_Science_Park.pdf)
|
|
|
|
) Euler room (Z009).
|
|
|
|
See for more information [Getting to Amsterdam Science
|
|
|
|
Park](https://www.nikhef.nl/en/about-nikhef/contact/how-to-reach-nikhef/)
|
|
|
|
.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Public Transport
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Plan your journey by public transport via [this
|
|
|
|
link](http://9292.nl/en).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For public transport you can either buy single tickets, or use an
|
|
|
|
'OV-chipkaart'.
|
|
|
|
The OV-chipkaart is convenient since it is valid in bus, tram, metro and
|
|
|
|
train.
|
|
|
|
You can buy an OV-chipkaart at the ticket machines at the train
|
|
|
|
stations, at the service desks of the [GVB](http://en.gvb.nl/) (=the
|
|
|
|
public transport company, these desks are located inside train
|
|
|
|
stations), and in some tobacco shops, supermarkets and Bruna shops.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can find all information about fares and the OV-chipkaart on the
|
|
|
|
[9292 website](http://9292.nl/en/fares-and-public-transport).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Cycling
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cycling is by far the easiest and fastest way to get around in
|
|
|
|
Amsterdam.
|
|
|
|
There are many places in Amsterdam where you can rent a bicylce:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- at train stations
|
|
|
|
- at bicycle rental companies (the biggest are:
|
|
|
|
[MacBike](http://www.macbike.nl/), [Amsterdam Black
|
|
|
|
Bikes](http://www.black-bikes.com/) and [Yellow
|
|
|
|
Bike](http://www.yellowbike.nl/))
|
|
|
|
- at cycle shops (there are more than 150 of them)
|
|
|
|
- at the hotel
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Renting a bicycle costs about 8 to 10 euros for a single day. The rate
|
|
|
|
is lower if you rent it for a couple of days.
|
|
|
|
Important notes:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Before you leave the place where you rented the bicycle check that
|
|
|
|
the lights work (back and front). You need them when it is dark
|
|
|
|
outside.
|
|
|
|
- Before you start riding the bicycle be aware whether you rented one
|
|
|
|
with hand brake or pedal brake. Occasionally a short response time
|
|
|
|
is advantageous. Then it is good to know where the brakes are.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Hotels
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These are the hotels where Nikhef regularly books rooms for their
|
|
|
|
guests.

|
|
|
|
Nikhef has negotiated deals with these hotels. If you like Nikhef to
|
|
|
|
book a hotel for you, please send an email to:
|
|
|
|
travel@nikhef.nl. You will have to pay the hotel yourself according to
|
|
|
|
hotel policy.
|
|
|
|
You can also book a room at booking.com yourself. It has been our
|
|
|
|
experience in the past that it's not much of a difference pricewise.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most of the hotels are all located along tram line 9, the tram line
|
|
|
|
closest to Nikhef.
|
|
|
|
Eden Manor Hotel is closest to Nikhef. Prices vary between 80-150 euro
|
|
|
|
(depending on season and availability).
