- Book your tickets in advance, as departure times for this popular Sinterklaas event often sell out quickly.
- Arrive at Museumstation Beekbergen at least 30 minutes before your scheduled departure to allow ample time for boarding and to soak in the festive atmosphere.
- Dress warmly in layers, as train carriages can be cooler than expected, especially during a November journey.
