Arriving to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport you should take the train to Amsterdam Central Station.

From the Central Station you have two options:

1) Take the train from Amsterdam Central Station to “Amsterdam Muiderpoort”. This is a short 5 minutes ride, but leaves you with a scant 10 minutes walk from the station to the Institute (see the map) A train ticket from Schiphol to Muiderpoort is 3,80 euros. If you arrive with Thalys or ICE you need to buy a new ticket at Amsterdam CS.

2) Leave the station and take the number 22 bus from in front of the church (on the other side of the road). The bus is in the direction of Indische Burt. You should get off at the stop Javaplein (about 20 minutes). From Java plein you cross the road and go down Borneostraat and Lombokstraat is send on the right. You should see quite qickly the big old school that is the building that houses among others our Institute. You can buy the ticket in the bus.

If you will be somewhere in Amsterdam city centre, tramway number 14 (Direction Flevopark) runs through Jordaan, via Dam Square and Waterlooplein to the Institute. Get off at Zeeburgerdijk, from where you can see our building.

From Amsterdam Amstel station (arrival point of Eurolines buses) you can either take the train or bus 15 or 37 to Muiderpoort station.
