Bijlmer ArenA

Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA previously named Amsterdam Bijlmer (1971–2006), is a railway station in the Bijlmermeer neighbourhood of  Amsterdam. The station has five platforms and eight tracks; two for the Amsterdam Metro and six train tracks, along with a bus station. Train services are operated by NS.

Originally opened on 24 May 1971, the station has been rebuilt twice. In July 2007, a large part of the rebuilding was completed and on 17 November 2007 the station was fully opened. The new station was designed by Grimshaw Architects of London in association with Arcadis Architecten.

The station arches over the ArenA Boulevard. The complex is almost 100 metres (330 ft) long, 70 m (230 ft) wide, and 30 m (98 ft) tall. It is mostly transparent, to blend in with the rest of the Boulevard.

The Metro lines that stop at this station are Metroline Yellow 54 (Amsterdam Centraal – Gein) and Metroline Green 50 (Isolatorweg – Gein).

On 10 December 2006 the station's name was changed from Amsterdam Bijlmer to Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA, to match its location (ArenA Boulevard), named after the nearby Amsterdam ArenA stadium (since 2018 known as the Johan Cruyff Arena).  On the west side is Heineken Music Hall and Pathé ArenA cinema with 14 screens and the newly built event venue Ziggo Dome. On the east side is Amsterdamse Poort.
