Amsterdam Layover Tips
Schiphol Plaza is Your Gateway
Schiphol Plaza, located beneath the terminal, connects the airport to trains, buses, and hotels. Most airport hotels are accessible from here without going outside.
Train to Amsterdam Central in 15 Minutes
The NS Dutch Railways direct train runs every 10-15 minutes and reaches Amsterdam Central in just 15 minutes. It's the fastest way to the city center.
Book a Hotel with Schiphol Plaza Access
Several AMS airport hotels are connected to Schiphol Plaza via covered walkways. This is ideal for rainy Dutch weather and travelers with luggage.
Use the Airport for Meetings
Schiphol has excellent business meeting facilities and co-working spaces. If you have a short layover, you can hold meetings without leaving the airport.
