No Art is shaped by its community, and together we’re building a future in Amsterdam with care for the neighborhood and its surroundings.
If everyone attends the event by car, there will be major traffic jams, you will get stuck in traffic, and it will take you much longer to get to the event. In addition, it causes a lot of nuisance to the surrounding area of the event. This is something we are committed to prevent so that we can continue to organize great events for you in the future.
This is the reason why this is a car-free event - with no car and restricted taxis/Ubers access. To give you something in return we provide fast-lane entry for everyone that arrives by bike.
By asking you to come by bike, we want to give you something in return: exclusive access to a fast-lane festival entrance. To make sure you have access to the fast-lane entrance you’ll have to pick-up your exclusive fast-lane wristband at the bicycle parking. What’s the best way to reach the venue?
Public transport and bike are the easiest way to arrive at and depart from the festival. With frequent connections and stops close to the venue, public transport offers a smooth and hassle-free journey in both directions. Travelling by bike is also a great option, with bicycle parking available close to the entrance.
Metro lines 50 and 51 both stop at Henk Sneevlietweg, just a 10-minute walk from the festival entrance. Henk Sneevlietweg offers direct connections to Amsterdam Lelylaan, Station Zuid and Sloterdijk, making it easy to continue your journey before and after the festival.
For the most up-to-date travel information and route planning, we recommend using the 9292 or Google Maps app.
Please note that the last trains and metro services depart between approximately 00:00 and 01:00, so be sure to plan your journey home in advance.
