The train (operated by the company) Nederlandse Spoorwegen “(NS)) is the easiest and fastest option for connecting the city centre: the journey takes only 15 to 20 minutes and trains run 24 hours a day, due to several trains per hour from 6am to midnight and one train per hour between midnight and 6am. The trains serve Amsterdam Central Station as well as Amsterdam Sloterdijk and Amsterdam Amstel stations.
Count on average 9,50 € for a ticket go. The ticket can be purchased at the yellow terminals scheduled for this purpose on the Schiphol Plaza docks or NS points of sale, at the Meeting Point level of the same place.
Bus transfer
Another way to make a Schiphol airport transfer to the centre of Amsterdam: the bus. Several lines make the journey to the centre: bus 370 and 197, 97, 358...
Lines 370 and 197 (Interliner) of public buses serve the south and centre of Amsterdam for €5.20 per day. The stations served are the station of Amstelveenweg, Haarlemmermeerstation, Museumplein, Leideseplein and Marnixstraat.
At night, buses 97 and 358 (Niteliner), circulate from 00:30 to 5:00 and serve the same stations.
There is a departure every 30 minutes at high-speed times and one per hour at hollow times and it takes at least 25 minutes to transfer Schiphol airport to Leidseplein.
Taxi transfer
The more expensive, but more comfortable, taking the taxi allows you to be placed at the doors of your accommodation: if you have a bad sense of orientation, if it rains, if it snows or if it is very cold, it is ideal. It will take about €42 for a race to the centre of Amsterdam. A private taxi to make its airport transfer Schiphol costs 36 € for a single ride and 69 € for the return trip but you can also opt for a shared taxi, for 19 € for the go and 34 € for the return trip.
Be careful, it’s better to book in advance his taxi because they could all be assaulted by holding a taxi on site. The taxi’s interest is that it makes your Schiphol airport transfer at any time of day or night, and also guarantees a seating position (unlike the bus or train). Finally, count between 20 and 25 minutes of transport. By booking online, you save up to €20 for the race and you will not suffer the high speed of the airport, yet only equipped with a single queue for the taxi.
