Parking
Address: Vikingpad 40, Amsterdam.
You can park in the area surrounding KV Viking for free.
Please note that the area around KV Viking can get quite busy with cars during the event, as we share the space with several other sports clubs. We’ve informed the other clubs in advance to help make room, but it’s still likely to be crowded.
Important:
Do not park on the bridge or on the grass — this could result in a parking fine.
If you’re not bringing a boat trailer, we kindly ask that you park in the nearby residential streets around the club to help free up space close to the venue.
