Conference
venue
University of Amsterdam: Doelenzaal. Singel 425 (University
Library entrance).
For a map, see: http://users.fmg.uva.nl/mhuizinga/map3.jpg.
Parking space in the Doelenzaal area is sparse.
The venue (and this also true for the hotels) is best
reached by public transport:
Tram 2 & 5 (stop at Spui); Tram 4, 9, 16, 20, 24 & 25 (stop
at Muntplein).
Public transport is cheap, reliable and Schiphol airport
is close to the city (around 20 minutes).
Single tickets are 3.80 euro. Taxis from the airport should
not charge more than 35 euros.
The venue (as well as the hotels) is a 15 minute walk
from Central Station.
Trams take just as much time (single ticker: 2.60 Euro).
Take Tram 2 & 5 (stop at Spui); Tram 4, 9, 16, 20, 24 &
25 (stop at Muntplein).
Do not take a taxi from Central Station: drivers are often
rude, unreliable and may refuse to take short trips.

Lodging
Hotels:
Le
Coin
Nova
Hotel
Please notice that late cancellation of a hotel room or non-appearance at the hotel will lead to financial penalties. Le Coin charges 100% of hotel rate when cancellation occurs (less than) a week before arrival. Nova hotel charges one night's rate for non-arrival. As I mentioned before, we will not cover those charges. I have attached the latest list of rooms booked for you.
Tourist
Information
As I mentioned before, tourist information can be found
here: http://www.iamsterdam.com/en.
Of course, the program is so full you will not have a single
moment left.
Nevertheless, you might want to take a walk (this can also
be done at night). If so, the same site contains information
about walking tours: http://www.iamsterdam.com/en/visiting/touristinformation/products/walkingtours.
The walking tour on the bottom of the linked webpage can even be downloaded (recommended). The tourist office is next to Central Station.

de Jaren. The cafe is across the street from Hotel le
Coin. This is not included in the workshop and everyone
is expected to pay his/her own drinks. For a full explanation
of this concept, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Going_Dutch.
