We'd also like to inform you about the following public events taking 
place before and during RIPE 62.

- Queens Day (Koninginnedag), Saturday 30 April

If you are arriving in Amsterdam on Saturday, 30 April, you'll 
experience one of Europe's largest street parties. However, *trams 
running from Amsterdam's Central Station will be limited*  on this day 
and it will be impossible to get through the centre of the city by tram, 
bus or taxi. If you are staying in the city centre, be prepared to walk 
to your hotel on this day.
- Remembrance Day (Herdenkingsdag), Wednesday 4 May

At 20:00 on Wednesday 4 May, the Netherlands falls silent for two 
minutes. This event is strictly observed throughout the entire country. 
A ceremony attended by the Queen also takes place on Dam Square right in 
front of the meeting venue. From 19:45 - 20:30, the front doors of the 
Hotel Krasnapolsky will be out of use and you will need to use the back 
entrance of the hotel to get in and out during this time.
