Route Description

Subway

This is by far the easiest way to get there. You'll have to stamp 4 strips on your stripticket from Amsterdam City Center (see travel section; getting around )
Take line 50 (Isolatorweg – Gein) or line 54 (Central Station – Gein) to Gein, get off at Holendrecht. From there it is a 250 meter (covered) walk to the main entrance of the AMC or you can follow the yellow signs "Faculteit" to go directly to the faculty buildings J and K where the retreat will be held. From both entrances the exact location of the rooms will be signposted.
