Maps and directions

To get to Nikhef from:

NH Tropen hotel: take the #9 tram direction "Diemen Sniep" and get off at the Kruislaan intersection. Having boarded it at the "1ste van Swindenstraat", it is the 5th stop. Get off the tram, cross the road and start walking roughly eastwards towards the science park. There is a train station "Science Park" and an underpass (~ 70m long) under a shunting yard after 800m. Go straight ahead, under the railway tracks and keep walking. Having crossed a wide street "MacGillavry laan", the entrance to the WCW Science Park is on your left after another 80m. Go left and follow the sign to Nikhef or see the map below.
From (near) Amsterdam Central station: get the #9 tram (see above) or take the train leaving from platform 14 at *:18 and *:48 towards "Almere Oostvaarders". The train takes approx 8 min to get to the "Amsterdam Science Park" station, which will be the 2nd stop. Get off the train and follow the signs to the "Science Park". You will have to take the underpass across the shunting yard.
From Schiphol airport: take any train to Amsterdam central station (NOT to Zuid) and then change trains to "Almere Oostvaarders", leaving from platform 13 or 14 at *:18 and *:48 from Central Station. Get off at the Science Park train station and follow the signs to the science park, taking the underpass.

Train tickets must be bought before boarding any train, as the inspectors will not sell tickets but fine you instead. Buy them from the yellow ticket machines, which all take Meastro/cirrus. Most will also take Visa and MasterCard, some take coins. See the travel guide for pictures of these machines.

For the bus: buy a day ticket from a vending machine. These are RFID-based cards that will be accepted on trams, busses and metros (but not trains). A day ticket costs 7 Euro. See http://www.gvb.nl/english/travellers/tickets-and-fares/Pages/Ticketsandfares.aspx for more bus/tram ticket information.
