Amsterdam is famed as a world-class international transport hub and there are innumerable ways of getting into the city. While travellers from far-flung countries are likely to fly into the award-winning Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, those travelling from within Europe will probably hop on a train – convenient and cost effective, the rail network in the Netherlands is second to none. And of course the road network provides easy access to Amsterdam for those keen to travel by car. Read the ‘Getting Around’ section for our tips on travelling by car in and around the city.
