City Guide

Amsterdam

Pick your city :

Overview

Lively, lascivious Amsterdam has a unique atmosphere that belies the caricature of the dour Dutch.
Whether you go for storybook canals or laid-back coffeehouses, the Flower Market´s springtime blooms or the Van Gogh Museum´s sunflowers, Amsterdam will -- in its inimitable style -- captivate you. Friendly, open-minded and easygoing, the Amsterdammers flaunt their quirky creativity in Jordaan´s boutiques and welcome all-comers like long-lost friends in canalside cafés.

Distance from Airport

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) is located 15km (9 miles) southwest of Amsterdam.

Getting Downtown Amsterdam

The quickest and the easiest way to travel into the city from Schiphol is by train. The station is directly below the airport. Private and shared taxis are also available as well as the Schiphol Travel Taxi, which is the national taxi service.Travelers heading for the hotels can make use of the Connexxion airport hotel shuttle service. The airport is also well served by local bus service.

When to Fly to Amsterdam

Peak Season:
The most crowded and expensive time to visit Amsterdam is tulip season (April to mid-May) and July and August.

Off Season:
Most cultural events are scheduled from September through June, so if you go in the cold winter months (the coldest weather is December-March), there will be plenty to do and fewer people trying to do it. And if you’re there during one of the winters when the canals freeze, you can join the Amsterdam residents on skates, a lovely way to see the city.
