Wedding

Introduction

If you are looking for a hotel to stay in when attending the wedding, you will need to decide in which area you want to stay.

If you are just staying for the wedding, you best find a hotel close to the wedding location. That will save you a taxi fare back to the hotel at the end of the party. This is also advised if you are coming by car.

You can also choose to stay close to the airport, which is an idea if you drive and / or need to catch a flight on Sunday. As the wedding location is quite close to Schiphol, this may be an attractive idea.

If you plan to stay for a while, you best find a hotel in the city centre, from which you can go sightseeing. You will have to take a taxi back from the party to the hotel, but this is about €20 - 25, which may be less if you share a taxi.
