Minervabuurt-Midden is nestled between the Apollolaan, Minervalaan and Stadionweg in Amsterdam-Zuid.

Accessibility: central but not cheap parking

Tram lines 5 and 24 stop on Minervalaan and take you to Central Station in fifteen minutes. Metro station Europaplein (North/South line) is a ten-minute walk away. By bike, you can reach Museumplein or Vondelpark in ten minutes, Dam Square in a quarter of an hour. By car, the A10 ring road via exit S108/S109 is quickly accessible, but parking is a pain point: you need a permit and it is not cheap. Street parking without a permit quickly costs €7.50 per hour. Residents often mention this as a drawback.
