Parking in Bijlmer Arena

Station Bijlmer ArenA actually consists of two stations in Amsterdam-Zuidoost. It's a bit confusing, to be honest: Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA is the name of the train station, and Station Bijlmer ArenA is the name of the metro station. Fortunately, the stations are located together between the ArenA Boulevard and the shopping center Amsterdamse Poort. Station Bijlmer ArenA has eight tracks. Two of them (track 4 and 5) are designated for the metro. Two other tracks connect to the Utrechtboog, which provides a direct connection between Utrecht Centraal and Schiphol Airport. This eliminates the need to transfer at Duivendrecht, saving many travelers a lot of time.

The station had to be spacious because it mainly needs to handle large streams of passengers just before and after events. On the ArenA Boulevard, you'll find the Johan Cruijff ArenA football stadium and the concert halls AFAS Live and Ziggo Dome. You can imagine that it can get quite chaotic when thousands of people need to park for concerts or football matches or travel to Bijlmer ArenA by public transport.

While this area can sometimes be very busy, reserving a spot in the Bijlmer ArenA parking garage in advance with the help of Parclick can make parking at Bijlmer ArenA stress-free.
