Well prepared for the Dutch Grand Prix
On August 21, 22, and 23, the racing spectacle will burst into action again in Zandvoort. The Dutch Grand Prix experience already starts with your train journey to the circuit! During the Dutch Grand Prix race weekend, thousands of race fans travel to the Zandvoort circuit every day. That is why the Dutch Railways runs a special timetable with extra trains on these days. Arrange your train ticket to Zandvoort aan Zee online and skip the queue at the ticket machine later.
Practical information
Crowds at stations and on trains
Despite the extra trains and the adjusted timetable, heavy crowds are expected on the route between Amsterdam Centraal and Zandvoort aan Zee. Therefore, depart on time so you don’t miss any of the races.
After the races, it could be very busy at Zandvoort aan Zee station, and long waiting lines for the train may occur. Please take into account a longer travel time.
Traveling on Saturday
The sprint race is scheduled for Saturday, August 22. Because of this, the trains to Zandvoort may become very crowded in a short period. Therefore, travel early and make sure to be at Amsterdam Centraal before 08:30 for a transfer to the train to Zandvoort aan Zee.
No bicycles on the train
Due to the crowds during the Dutch Grand Prix weekend, bicycles cannot be taken on trains between Amsterdam Centraal and Zandvoort aan Zee. This way, we ensure a pleasant and responsible journey together.
Travel assistance
During the Dutch Grand Prix weekend, travel assistance cannot be provided on trains between Zandvoort aan Zee and Amsterdam Centraal.
These sprinter trains have level boarding and are accessible with aids that do not require travel assistance.
