Map: De Grolsch Veste and the listed hotels
Getting to De Grolsch Veste
The stadium stands right beside Enschede Kennispark railway station, just a short walk from the turnstiles, making the train the easiest way to arrive. Local trains link Kennispark with Enschede Centraal and Hengelo in about five minutes, so it is simple to combine a longer rail journey with the final leg to the ground. Bus line 1 also runs between the city's central bus and railway station and the stadium area. Driving is trickier: car parks P1 to P7 need a matchday pass, leaving little room for anyone without one. Fans without a pass can park at the University of Twente and use free shuttle buses running from two hours before the event to two hours after. From Schiphol, trains to Enschede take a little over two hours, sometimes with one change. Enschede has no tram or metro network.
