Beautiful football, a brilliant city and one of the easiest trips going, an Ajax away day in Amsterdam is hard to beat. We pair cheap flights with match tickets so you can enjoy the football and the city.
Ajax play at the Johan Cruijff ArenA in the Bijlmer area south-east of Amsterdam, a modern arena named for the club's greatest figure and the spiritual home of Total Football. It's easy to reach by train or metro to the Bijlmer ArenA station, and the F-Side stand houses the loudest home support.
Amsterdam Schiphol is one of the best-connected airports anywhere, a short train ride from both the centre and the stadium — which makes this one of the easiest away days in Europe to organise. Once you arrive, the city's trams, metro and famous bikes make getting around genuinely simple.
Amsterdam is a near-perfect weekend city: the ring of canals, the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum, the brown cafés of the Jordaan and a relaxed, English-friendly buzz throughout. Compact, walkable and endlessly photogenic, it pairs with an Ajax game to make one of the continent's most popular trips.
