From Schiphol
Train to Amsterdam Sloterdijk, then metro 50 to Isolatorweg. That is two minutes, and it runs every ten minutes. Isolatorweg is the end of the line, so you cannot miss your stop.
From Amsterdam Centraal
The quickest way is bus 22 towards Sloterdijk. Get off at Kabelweg, a three-minute walk from the festival. At night the N81 runs the same way. Metro 51 also ends at Isolatorweg, but it takes the long way round: about 40 minutes.
Back to Centraal Station
Take bus 22 towards Centraal Station from the stop Kabelweg. That stop is on the other side of the Transformatorweg, across from the Ibis. After the parties the N81 night bus leaves from the same stop and also goes to Centraal Station. Check the times on 9292 before you head out.
Planning your route
Coming from anywhere else in the Netherlands? 9292 plans the whole trip door to door: train, bus, tram and metro together. Set your destination to Isolatorweg, Amsterdam.
You do not need to buy anything in advance, and you do not need a travel card. Hold any contactless bank card or your phone against the reader at the gate, then do the same when you get off. That works across the whole Dutch network: train, metro, tram and bus.
By car
Parking at the Ibis is free at weekends, from Friday 19:00.
