Travel & Stay
How to get to Horecava 2027 as quickly and easily as possible?
You have decided to come to Horecava 2027, so now it is time to plan your trip. During Horecava, parking around RAI Amsterdam is extremely limited. You will notice this not only in the limited number of available parking spaces but also in the heavy traffic on the roads surrounding RAI Amsterdam.
Our strong recommendation: leave your car at home and travel by public transportation. RAI Amsterdam is very easy to reach by train, bus, metro, tram and bus. You will get off practically right at the door, avoid traffic jams and long wait times around RAI Amsterdam and start your visit to Horecava on a much more relaxed note.
Are you still coming by car? Then carpool, reserve a parking spot in advance at a location where this is possible, or choose a Park & Ride (P+R) location and take public transportation for the remaining distance. This will get you to Horecava faster than if you try to park in the surrounding area.
