How to Get from Amsterdam Airport to City Center by Train

When arriving at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, you may be wondering how to get to the city center. One popular option is taking the train from the airport to the city center. The good news is that there are several options available, and in this article, we will guide you through the process.

In the summer months, a stall can be found in the main public area of the airport operated by NS+GVB, which sells tickets and offers advice on how to get to your destination. While some websites may refer to 'airport buses' as a service from hotels, this is actually not the official minibus that serves the hotels. Instead, it is the Connexxion 197 bus, which has become increasingly popular among travelers.

This bus runs every 10-15 minutes and can transport large crowds of people. However, please note that the drivers do not sell day tickets anymore. On the other hand, GVB operates a local bus to the airport, for which its own tickets are valid.

Another option is to take the train from Schiphol Airport to Amsterdam city center. Until recently, NS's forum stated that it only allowed unlimited travel on and between all stations via various routes from Schiphol Airport to any Amsterdam station, including Centraal Station. However, in a recent update, NS announced that it now allows unlimited train travel from the airport to any station in the city.

Important Notes

* When taking the Connexxion 197 bus, please note that its drivers no longer sell day tickets.

* GVB's local bus ticket is valid for use on this service.

* The train ticket sold by NS+GVB allows unlimited travel from Schiphol Airport to any station in Amsterdam.

By following these simple steps and understanding the different options available, you can easily get from Amsterdam Airport to City Center using public transportation.
