COI Conference – Accommodation & transport

Transport

Within Utrecht, the easiest mode of transport is the train. Fortunately, both the conference and dinner venues are easy to reach by train. For the conference location, take the train to Utrecht Lunetten from Utrecht Centraal. This train goes every 10 to 20 minutes and takes 5 minutes. The Aristo Conference Centre is right next to Utrecht Lunetten.

For the dinner location, from Utrecht Lunetten or Utrecht Centraal take the train to Vaartsche Rijn. From here it is an 8-minute walk to LE:EN.

You do not need to buy a ticket for the train: you can just check in and out using your debit card, credit card or mobile phone. Just make sure you check in and out the same way.

Another common mode of transport in Utrecht is the bus. However, the bus does take longer than the train, so we recommend the train. If you want to come by bus, click here to plan your trip. The bus also allows you to check in and out with your debit card, credit card or mobile phone.
