Directions
By public transport
SURFnet is within easy reach from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. By train it takes about 30 min. From Schiphol Station (below the airport) take an intercity train (every 15 min.) in the direction of Utrecht, Eindhoven or Nijmegen. All will stop in Utrecht Central Station (Utrecht CS)
Taking the central station hall as your starting point, follow the signs Centrum/Hoog Catharijne and walk into the mall, keeping to the left. After about 20 metres you will see the sign Radboudburcht on the left. Walk into the corridor. You will find glass doors at the end of the corridor. Ring the bell for SURFnet to have the reception open the doors for you. Take the elevator to the fourth floor.
By car
Currently, a great deal of roads in Utrecht are being worked on. Check www.utrechtbereikbaar.nl for the latest information.
A2:
On the A2 (Amsterdam - Utrecht - Den Bosch) take the exit Utrecht-Oog in Al or Utrecht-Centrum . You are now driving on Vleutenseweg or Graadt van Roggenweg towards the city centre. Follow the signs Centrum/Station. Immediately after passing underneath the railway crossing you enter a roundabout. (You will see a police station straight across.) Exit to the right immediately. Follow the signs Hoog Catharijne .
A28:
On the A28 (Amersfoort) follow the signs Utrecht-Noord. Take the exit Veemarkthallen, turning left taking the underpass. From here, follow the signs Centrum and Hoog Catharijne. Once you are on Weerdsingel, you will enter a round-about. (You will see a police station to your left.) Turn left.
A2 and A28 continued:
After leaving the roundabout, follow the sign Station and keep to the right avoiding the underpass. After the second crossing immediately take the first street on the right, Stationsstraat. Park you car in car park P3, Radboud, which you will find on the left.
Inside the car park you can take either of the two elevators (marked as stairs on the Map Hoog Catharijne) to the shopping level. Leave the elevator and walk towards the Central Station. As you are about to enter Stationstraverse you see an office block, Radboudburcht, signposted on the right. Walk into the corridor. You will find glass doors at the end of the corridor. Ring the bell for SURFnet to have the reception open the doors for you. Take the elevator to the fourth floor.

The hotels in the west are more easy for a quick walk to the venue, the hotels on the east side are in the more scenic old center of Utrecht.
