The VU Library is located nearby the business district called ‘de Zuidas’, where you will find various suitable hotel chains such as Novotel, Van der Valk, Mercure, etc. If you’re looking for a little more Amsterdam life, you can try closer to the city centre, between the VU Library and the Museumplein. Public transportation in the city is quite extensive, so you will have plenty of options on how to get to the venue.
