We look forward to welcoming you to Amsterdam for the EAIE Academy 2026 course this Autumn. Amsterdam offers a wide range of hotels and hostels and a vibrant restaurant and café scene.
The venue in Amsterdam for this Academy course has not yet been confirmed. As soon as it is confirmed, participants will be informed by email and this page will be updated, so accommodation can then be selected with the venue location in mind.
Hotels
As an EAIE Academy participant, you are kindly requested to book your own accommodation.
Be aware of fraudulent hotel agencies
Please be aware that fraudulent hotel agencies routinely solicit our participants. As the EAIE only handles Academy registrations, there is no official EAIE Hotel Agency for this event. Beware of any sales calls.
Travel
Amsterdam is a well-connected European city that can be reached easily from across the country and abroad. Amsterdam has an excellent railway infrastructure. Intercity trains hailing from every corner of the Netherlands make a stop at Amsterdam Central Station, including high-speed trains from France, Germany and the UK.
The main international airport of the Netherlands is Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Some budget airlines operate via Eindhoven Airport, connected by bus with Eindhoven Central Station, and operate via Rotterdam The Hague Airport where you can easily take a direct train to Rotterdam Central Station. Both train stations are linked directly with Amsterdam Centraal.
