Do you arrive early before the conference or stay late after the conference?
We can recommend a visit to Museum Speelklok, for anyone interested in vintage mechanical marvels.
It’s a ’must-see’ museum if you have time for this. You pay the entrance yourself, not included in the conference fee.
Address: Steenweg 6 (it’s about 10 minutes walk, on the east side of the Central Station, use Google map).
