Trade fairs & conferences

By coach to RAI Amsterdam

A day at the Huishoudbeurs, the big Dutch consumer fair, with your club, or a trade fair or conference with colleagues: the RAI is on the A10, on the edge of the centre, where a large coach cannot simply drive in. Below is where the city of Amsterdam lets coaches stop and park near the RAI.

Stopping and parking

Where the coach stops and parks

The RAI itself names no place for coaches. The city of Amsterdam does, in its open data on coaches: a car park at the RAI and stops nearby.

What the venue itself says

What the RAI itself says

The RAI is in Amsterdam-Zuid on the A10, next to Amsterdam RAI station. Its own parking page says nothing about coaches; the city's spots are above. Put in your request that you are going to the RAI and to which fair.

At the RAI itself

The RAI parking page says nothing about coaches.
The RAI car parks are on the A10.
Dropping someone off or picking them up is possible: if you leave the car park within 5 minutes it is free. For public events such as concerts, the RAI often sets up a Kiss & Ride zone in front of the entrance.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about the coach to RAI Amsterdam

Is a coach allowed to go to the RAI?

Yes. The RAI is on the A10, and the city of Amsterdam lists car park P6 at the RAI as a parking place for coaches. The centre of Amsterdam is largely closed to heavy coaches, but the coach doesn't need to go through it to reach the RAI.

Where does the coach drop the group off at the RAI?

The city has two coach stops nearby: H41 at Motel One on the Maaslandstraat and H37 on the Europaboulevard by the Novotel. The coach company will agree with you which one it uses that day.

When is the Huishoudbeurs in 2027?

From Saturday 20 to Saturday 27 February 2027, at RAI Amsterdam. Check the Huishoudbeurs website itself before you book.

Is the price estimate I see final?

No, it is a price estimate based on your route and group size, not a confirmation of availability. The coach company itself confirms the final price and availability after you have sent a no-obligation booking request.

Does it cost anything to request a booking?

No, requesting a booking is always free and without obligation. You are not committed to anything until the coach company has confirmed the final price and availability and you agree.
