Why is parking at Oosterdok Parking a smart choice for ADE?
If you’re planning to drive to ADE, it’s important to be well prepared. Parking during the Amsterdam Dance Event can be quite a challenge. Regular on-street parking rates in the city center are extremely high, and the demand for parking is enormous. No one wants to waste precious time driving around looking for an open spot while your favorite DJ is already on the decks. Fortunately, parking in Amsterdam doesn’t have to be complicated or unaffordable.
Why it's important to reserve your parking spot in advance for ADE?
During ADE, the city is busier than ever. Major venues in and around the city center, such as the Melkweg, Paradiso, and the Johan Cruijff ArenA, draw massive crowds day and night. The City of Amsterdam encourages the use of public transportation, which means that many on-street parking spaces are intentionally limited or closed off during the event.
If you drive into the city on a whim, you run the risk of getting stuck in traffic or paying through the nose at a random parking garage. On-street rates in the city center can run as high as €10.00 per hour. Smart travelers choose comfort and peace of mind. When you book a parking spot in advance, you know exactly what to expect for the festival and can drive straight to your reserved spot without any stress.
Flexible travel between the various locations
Since ADE takes place all over Amsterdam from the NDSM shipyard in Amsterdam-Noord to the Radion in West, the combination of parking your car in a central location and using Amsterdam’s public transportation is the most efficient way to get around.
From our parking garages in the city center, you can easily transfer to the metro, tram, or free ferries. What’s more, public transportation often runs on adjusted schedules and night service during the ADE weekend, so you can easily get back to your car late at night or early in the morning.
