Getting to Amsterdam

A taxi will set you back around € 50.

Most national and international trains (including Thalys, Eurostar and ICE) arrive at Amsterdam Centraal. Other big stations around Amsterdam are Sloterdijk and Zuid. Centraal Station is located between the IJ Waterfront and the old center. For travel information, see NS.nl.

Flixbus, Ouibus and Eurolines offer connections to Amsterdam, most coming into the Sloterdijk station, from where its about 15 minutes to go to the center.
