Got your EURO 2020 ticket, but still looking for cheap flight tickets? I recommend Momondo.com, a price comparison website where you can find the best option for your flight to EURO 2020 Amsterdam. I use it for all my travels.
By train
Amsterdam Centraal Station has high-speed connections from Paris, Berlin, Brussels, London, or even Frankfurt. The Dutch rail network is reliable and dense, so you can take advantage of your EURO 2020 stay and visit other places throughout the Netherlands.
Maybe you live in another European city, or just come by in Europe and want to visit other countries during your EURO 2020 stay? Don’t worry, you will find the easiest train route at the best prices on Raileurope website.
By coach
Maybe you prefer buses instead of a flight or a train trip. Then, you are lucky. There are three main buses station in Amsterdam: Amsterdam Centraal Station, Duivendrecht Station, and Sloterdijk Station. They all serve long-distance international buses.
Getting to Amsterdam for EURO 2020 by coach can be cheaper, and nowadays comfortable as most operators offer FREE WiFi, AC, and onboard toilet.
The only downside is that bus trips are longer than train ones. But prices can be very attractive. Should you be interested in bus offers, I recommend FlixBus. I use it when I don’t want to take my car and want to pay less than a train ticket. I once get from the Netherlands to Paris for only 19 EUR.
By car
I know, we are predicated to take alternative options to cars, but sometimes is the more convenient way to travel.
Amsterdam is accessible by A7/A8 highway from the north, A1 from the east, and A2/A4 from the south. I recommend you the Viamichelin route planner to find the cost and duration of your car trip to Amsterdam for EURO 2020.
Please note that Johan Cruijff ArenA provides limited parking during EURO 2020. That’s why I recommend planning to park close to a P+R (Park and Ride) and then using public transport to get to the stadium.

My favorite parking location when I go to Amsterdam is P+R Rai. It’s maybe the biggest facility, you can park for just €1 per 24h during the weekend. Not to mention P+R Rai is just 15 minutes away from Johan Cruijff ArenA if you take the metro.

Amsterdam is not the cheapest destination, whether there is a football event like EURO2020 or not. But you can still find a bargain if you book early and consider staying outside the city center. Rest assure, the excellent public transport network will get you to the city in no time.
Once you got your EURO 2020 ticket or know where you want to travel, I recommend the Booking.com dedicated page for EURO 2020 hotels in Amsterdam. You will easily find the perfect accommodation based on which games you want to attend. Should you go to multiple cities, Booking makes it straightforward to select the nearest hotel for every game you will attend.
Low budget offers: Hostels
For anyone looking for a low budget match, hostels are a great option. They are also perfect if you plan to come with your buddies: you can share 6+ bedrooms. Try to find that in a hotel…
Many hostels organize social events around football, so even you can celebrate with other fans even if you are traveling alone.
