Travel, Logistics & Visa Guide for Bitcoin Amsterdam 2026

Visa & Entry Requirements

The city sits in the Schengen Area. Guests from outside the EU should apply for a Schengen visa well before November 2026. BTC Inc's normal rule gives no refunds if your visa is turned down. All travel and visa risk falls on the guest. Check the official site closer to the event to see if visa letters are offered.

Flights & Accommodation

Book flights and a place to stay near Halfweg at least 2–3 months early. Hotel prices go up fast during big crypto weeks, and rooms close to the venue sell out first. Since SugarFactory now sits in Halfweg rather than central Amsterdam, guests should also weigh stays in Amsterdam's western districts, like Sloterdijk or Oud-West, which sit closer to the venue than the city center.

How to Get to Bitcoin Amsterdam 2026

Venue: SugarFactory, Kristalpromenade 7, 1165 PD Halfweg, The Netherlands. Halfweg sits just west of Amsterdam, between Amsterdam and Haarlem, so guests coming from the city center should plan extra travel time compared to a fully central venue. The local money is the Euro (€), and the event accepts both crypto and normal payments. Check the official site closer to November for confirmed public transport routes, since exact tram, bus, or train details for this venue were not published yet as of August 2026.

Event App & Media Accreditation

BTC Inc shows often have an app for planning your day and meeting people. Check the official site closer to November to see if the app is ready. Press pass rules for 2026 were not shared yet as of August 2026. Apply straight through the site or ask the event team. The 2024 show gave press passes to 150+ media people (real number; bitcoin2024.b.tc).
