Terminal Information – Arriving

All flights into Amsterdam-Schiphol Airport are filtered into one arrivals area, Schiphol Plaza. The area has a few shops, ATMs and a tourist information area. It's also the airport's main transport hub. The taxi rank is located just outside, and from here you can easily take a metered cab into the city centre. You should pay €40-50* (about £30-38) although journey price will depend on the distance you travel. The airport bus serves Museumplein and Leidseplain, and single tickets cost €5* (about £3.80). If you're going to the city centre the fastest and easiest way to get there is by train. The station is underneath Schiphol Plaza and you can purchase your tickets from the machines. One-way tickets to Centraal Station are €3.90* (about £2.95). Car hire desks can also be found in the arrivals area. It's best to pre-book your car, and if you use Skyscanner you can compare prices to find the best deals too.
