Where can I park at Dekmantel Festival?
Driving to the Amsterdamse Bos is a convenient option, particularly for those coming from further afield or with equipment to transport. The venue is easily accessible from the A9 motorway, which connects to the wider Dutch motorway network, including the M25 if approaching from the UK via ferry or Eurotunnel. For satellite navigation, using the postcode of Amstelveen (e.g., 1182 AB for the general area) is recommended, as specific venue postcodes can be less precise for large parkland areas. Parking is available at several designated car parks within and around the Amsterdamse Bos. These include larger car parks near the main entrances and smaller lots closer to specific event areas. Parking fees typically apply and can range from €2-€4 per hour, with daily rates often capped. There are no official park and ride services directly linked to the venue, but general public transport options from nearby train stations can serve a similar purpose. The car parks are generally accessible for disabled drivers, with clearly marked bays located close to pathways.
