When to go

Central Amsterdam withstands all seasons but is at its fullest potential in spring and summer, when warmer temperatures arrive. Autumn’s quiet has a low-key loveliness, and as the days shorten and festive lights glow, winter brings its own charm.

Getting there

  • Planes

    Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport is 30 minutes by car from the city centre. Or hop aboard for the 20-minute train journey from the airport to Centraal Station.

  • Trains

    International services from Paris, Brussels, Cologne and Berlin terminate at Centraal Station, conveniently set in Centrum.

  • Automobiles

    Car journeys can be slow in the city and parking spots, in short supply. Adopt the Dutch attitude of ‘why drive when you can cycle’ and enjoy the slick moves of Amsterdam’s public transport, private transfers and taxis.
