Amsterdam Airport, more commonly known by its IATA code AMS and officially named Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, is the Netherlands’ main international airport and a major European hub. Here’s an overview:

Location & Scale

  • Located about 9 km southwest of Amsterdam, in Haarlemmermeer, North Holland.

  • One of the world’s busiest airports, handling over 66 million passengers in 2024, and ranked the 3rd busiest in Europe by passenger traffic, and #3 globally by international passenger traffic .

  • Covers around 2,787 ha, with a single terminal layout divided into three departure halls and served by six runways.

History & Infrastructure

  • Opened in 1916 as a military airfield, transitioned to civilian use after WWI, and became the Netherlands' primary airport by 1949.

  • Built in reclaimed land, the entire airport lies several metres below sea level, one of the lowest major airports globally.

  • Operated by the Royal Schiphol Group, it also serves as a key hub for KLM, part of the SkyTeam alliance, and hosts several other airlines.

Connectivity & Services

  • Enables flights to 300+ destinations worldwide, with KLM alone serving over 163 destinations.

  • Featured amenities include a world-class transit experience with free Wi‑Fi, airport lounges (e.g., Privium, KLM Crown), a library, museum art exhibits, showers, and more.

  • The Schiphol train station is directly underneath, offering rapid rail connections to Amsterdam and major Dutch and Belgian cities (including Eurostar trains to Paris and Brussels) .

Recent Developments & Future Outlook

  • Ongoing infrastructure investments: around €3 bn (2024–27) and an extended €6 bn investment through 2029 for terminals, piers (notably Pier A and C), baggage systems, and sustainability upgrades.

  • Continues to improve passenger experience, streamline operations, and modernize across the board.


Why AMS Stands Out

  • Its efficient single-terminal design, ample amenities, and smooth connections make it a top transit airport — travelers often report 45–50 minutes is sufficient for transit.

  • Serves as a model for airport-city integration, with a vast retail/dining zone (Schiphol Plaza) accessible to locals and travelers alike .


In essence, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) is much more than just a gateway to Amsterdam. It's a critical European air travel hub offering world-class amenities, connectivity, and operational excellence.

How to get from Amsterdam Airport to the city?

Here are the best ways to travel from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) to Amsterdam city centre:


1. Train (Fastest & Most Convenient)

  • Duration: 16–17 min to Amsterdam Centraal, with departures every 10–15 minutes daytime.

  • Price: Around €5–€5.50 one-way (using an e-ticket, OV‑chipkaart, or contactless bank/credit card) .

  • Where to board: Take escalators down from Schiphol Plaza to platforms 1–3 under the terminal.

  • Tip: No surcharge for this route—just check-in/check-out as usual.


2. Amsterdam Airport Express (Bus 397 / N97)

  • Route: Departs from bus stop B17 (sometimes B15) outside Schiphol Plaza.

  • Stops in central Amsterdam: Museumplein, Leidseplein, Elandsgracht (near canals and museums).

  • Duration: 30–40 min depending on traffic .

  • Price: €6.50 one-way; €11.75–€15 return.

  • Frequency: Every 10 min during the day; hourly night service (bus N97).

  • Ticketing: Pay on the bus (card only), buy e-ticket, or use OV‑chipkaart/pay‑as‑you-go.


3. Taxi / Rideshare / Private Transfer

  • Duration: ~20–30 min in light traffic; longer during peak hours (> 40 min).

  • Cost: Around €40–€60 depending on company, time of day, and luggage.

  • Availability: Official taxi rank just outside arrivals; rideshares like Uber also available. You can also book your transfer online in advance through the services like WelcomeTaxi.


4. Hotel Shuttle / Mini‑bus

  • Connexxion runs a reserved hotel shuttle to central‑city hotels.

  • Cost: ~€18.50 one‑way (€29.50 return); group rates available.

  • Departure: Bay A7 near Schiphol Plaza; check your hotel/vendor for pickup info.

  • Good for door‑to‑door service without taxi pricing.


5. Other Public Transport Combinations

  • Train + Metro: Take train to Amsterdam Zuid (7 min, €5), then metro M52 into the city (€3.40).

  • Bus 369: To Sloterdijk (~40 min, €3.40), then transfer by train/tram to central areas.


Fare & Payment Methods

  • OV‑chipkaart or anonymous disposable chipkaart for reusable public transport payment.

  • Contactless payment (with bank card or smartphone) is widely accepted—check-in/out as usual.

  • Amsterdam Travel Ticket: Unlimited travel on trains, buses, trams, and metros for 1–3 days (prices vary €18–€30).


Quick Recommendation:

  • Train is typically the best choice: fast, frequent, affordable.

  • Bus 397 is a great option if your destination is near Museumplein or Leidseplein and you prefer a direct ride.

  • Taxi/shuttle/private transfer is easier with luggage or late-night arrivals but costs more.
