20 September 2009: Car free day in Amsterdam - Albus Grand Hotel Amsterdam Centre

August 30, 2009

What keeps the car free day?
The Car Free day on Sunday 20 September 2009 is a festive day and Amsterdam with over fifty events on the street. Amsterdam is closed to incoming traffic from the A10 ring from 10.00 to 17.00 hours. It is one day of healthy exercise and nice street events in a clean city.

The Car Free Day is a moment of reflection. Cars are not allowed in the city between 10.00 and 17.00 hours. It has to bring attention to the fact that air quality must be improved and that environment is a shared responsibility of government and citizens. Cars are the biggest polluters by the emission of fine dust. So join us and leave your car at home! Experience the alternatives to travel into the city: walking, cycling, public transport and P + R. Get the taste of Amsterdam and stay at The Albus Grand Hotel in Amsterdam! Visit www.iamsterdam.com for more information and events during this special day in Amsterdam.
