transport to circuit zandvoort

Train

The train is a popular way for visitors to travel. As a result, stations can become very crowded before and after the event, even with extra trains and expanded schedules. Waiting times can reach two hours or more. Consider an alternative mode of transport, such as the official Dutch Grand Prix Shuttle or Park + Bike. With the Dutch Grand Prix Shuttle, you get a guaranteed seat and fixed arrival and departure times, or you can use Park + Bike to cycle past the queues.

Consider alternative transport options

• Park + Bike: Park your car and cycle the last few kilometers to the circuit.

• Dutch Grand Prix Shuttle: Get picked up at a stop near you and travel to Zandvoort comfortably, sustainably, and with others.

If you do travel by train

• Buy your ticket in advance or check in with your OV-chipcard, debit card, or credit card (except AMEX).

• Leave early so you don’t miss any of the race program.

• Expect long waiting times at departure and consider staying a bit longer after the event to enjoy the Fanzone or visit activities in the center of Zandvoort.

• Check the NS app for the latest travel information.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

ALL FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What time do the first and last trains arrive and depart from Zandvoort station?

No worries! The first trains arrive before the gates open, and the final trains leave Zandvoort late in the evening. Check NS.nl before travelling for the latest schedule.

I have limited mobility, can I still travel to the circuit by train?

There are no additional general parking spaces for people with reduced mobility in Zandvoort. Therefore, we advise visitors with mobility challenges to use the Dutch Grand Prix Shuttle or park at Park + Ride in Amsterdam-Zuid or Amstelveen and continue the journey with Connexxion.

What is the estimated waiting time between trains?

During the race weekend, 12 trains per hour run between Amsterdam Central and Zandvoort aan Zee, so you won’t have to wait long for the next train. However, due to the high number of visitors before and after the event, waiting times at Zandvoort Station may still reach up to 60 minutes.

To avoid the wait, consider spending more time at the event area, exploring the Fanzone, or enjoying Zandvoort itself. Waiting times generally decrease later in the evening.

Prefer more certainty? Choose the Dutch Grand Prix Shuttle, which operates with fixed arrival and departure times. Alternatively, make use of the Park & Bike option. Park your car and cycle the final leg to the station or circuit.
