You can either buy train tickets in advance or at a machine upon arrival. Before entering the train please validate your train ticket. Detailed information on traveling by train and on how to purchase tickets can be found here: https://www.astron.nl/contact/visiting-astron/visit-dwingeloo-hq/
Purchasing train tickets - at ticket machines or in advance via website
At Schiphol Amsterdam airport or any other railway station you should buy a train ticket (ticket has a chip) from the machine. These ticket machines accept major credit cards and debit cards with a Maestro logo.
Transport from Hoogeveen station to hotel or JIVE
The LOC advises to arrange for a taxi from Hoogeveen station and the De Borken hotel/JIVE. We'll update this section closer to the workshop to provide more useful information - please check this webpage again for updates
Transport between hotel and JIVE
The ASTRON building, where JIVE is situated, is located in a tranquil environment at the edge of a national park. The nearest bus stop is 2-4 km away from the institute. The best way to get from the De Borken hotel to the institute is to ride a bicycle. Therefore the LOC will arrange for rental bikes to be made available at the hotel from Sunday through Tuesday.
