Getting from Amsterdam Schiphol into Amsterdam

Trains run from Schiphol to Centraal every 10 minutes in 17 minutes for £5. Amsterdam is small enough that a taxi at £40 is rarely worth it.

When to go

  • Best months: April and May, September and early October
  • Cheapest months: January and February, cold but quiet
  • Avoid: King's Day (27 April) unless you want the party

Before you book

  • Low-cost carriers sell the seat and charge for the bag. With a 20 kg case at £25–£45 each way, the total is rarely the fare you first saw.
  • Landing after 22:00? Sort the transfer in advance; buses thin out and the taxi rank carries the markup.
  • Package protection is not automatic. Separate bookings mean separate protection: check what ATOL cover each seller actually gives you.
