Why park at Parking Centrum Oosterdok during museum night?
Finding a suitable parking spot in Amsterdam can be quite stressful on such a busy evening. Street parking in the city center is scarce and, on top of that, incredibly expensive. Fortunately, planning a great Museum Night doesn’t have to be complicated at all. By planning your trip in advance and booking a parking spot smartly through Amsterdam Centrum Parkeren, you’ll not only save significantly on parking costs, but you’ll also be guaranteed a safe and comfortable spot for your car. On this page, you’ll find all the practical tips for parking and how to enjoy Museum Night without any worries.
Save time and money
Because the event takes place across different parts of the city, there are an enormous number of visitors on the move at the same time. Unfortunately, anyone who drives into the city unprepared often faces unpleasant surprises. For example, the parking garages immediately surrounding Museumplein and the famous canals fill up early in the evening, which leads to a lot of time wasted searching for a spot. By planning your parking in advance for Amsterdam Museum Night, you’ll avoid wasting valuable time in traffic or at a full parking garage. With a pre-reserved parking spot at ODE, you can drive straight to your destination, park at an affordable rate, and then walk or take public transportation directly to the first museum on your itinerary.
How does transportation between the museums work during Museum Night?
On foot: Many museums in the city center and around Museumplein are just a few minutes’ walk from one another.
Museum Night shuttles: With your Museum Night wristband, you can ride the special shuttle buses which run continuously back and forth between the main venues for free.
Bicycle / public transportation: Amsterdam has an excellent public transportation network. You can also rent a public bike at various locations if you want to zip from one side of the city to the other extra fast.
