I'm from Seattle. I recently and suddenly took the opportunity to be in AMS on my own next week - for only two days!! As much as I want to enjoy the short time visiting there, the uncertainty of the basics can be overwhelming. Your video was the first one I clicked on from my search and was i lucky! Your video took more of that uncertainty off of my shoulders. I feel more confident. Plus your information, composition and camera work make the experience feel so smooth. I;m going to watch one more time and take pictures of potential "hiccups" in my route from and back to the airport during my two-day visit.

[@TinagirlTravels]

I love it! Thanks for your kind words! Have a wonderful time in AMS, we’re heading back there ourselves next month.

[@weeardguy]

For everyone at 2:10: I see this a lot at Schiphol. As these signs are a bit too congested/compressed and only feature main stations, I can understand one gets confused if you need a specific, usually smaller, station. In such cases, try to look for rather large yellow (non-electronic!) signs. You will find these at most stations, though unfortunately some stations have seen these removed or (how weird) only feature them on the platforms that require you to go through the gates first. In case you are at Schiphol Airport, there the signs seem to have been hidden behind the ticket machines the closest to Arrivals/Departures 1/2. These yellow signs accumulate certain main directions in the country, and list these at the top by mentioning main trainstations. They also provide the full weekly schedule for all trains that will be running in those directions, feature a time-line kind of overview of the route each train mentioned on the sign will take (and thus which stations it will call at), show which stations hold the intercity-status by showing the 'IC' abbreviation in the station-bullets in the timeline-overview, and like that ain't enough, they also feature a full written overview of each station a specific train will call at. But the most important thing is that these signs are always accompanied by a map showing the entire railnetwork in the country, with every station mentioned on the map and searchable by alphabetical index at the bottom, while also showing which operators are operating on routes not in operation by NS. So if you are unsure where you need to go (as your station is not mentioned on the compressed signs) but do know that you (for example) are going to take a trip to the south of the country from Amsterdam Central station, you want to look for the sign with 'S Hertogenbosch/Eindhoven/Venlo' or something similar at the top. Hope this helps ;)

[@TinagirlTravels]

Thanks for taking the time to share all of that. Super helpful!

[@weeardguy]

@@TinagirlTravels You're welcome. It's a shame NS-staff usually only point people towards the big display at Schiphol (on top of the ticket windows to the left of Arrivals/Departures 1/2) or the compressed signage instead of directing them to the physical tables, as it just clarifies the route the train will take. In just one go you will be able to see if you have a different option as well, should you've missed the train that was mentioned in your travel-advice. Of course, the one thing they can't do is show the current situation on the network (and as many Dutch people will know, delays and cancellations are quite common), but it visualises the network in such a nice way I have yet to see an app do that.

[@vincentwilliams4159]

hey hey from Montreal !!

[@TinagirlTravels]

Hello Montreal! I love your city. We did a city tour on e-bikes, it was amazing!

[@apintofbeer1667]

The best journey ever is landing at Schiphol and getting that train to Centraal Station

[@TinagirlTravels]

It’s pretty fantastic!

[@CruisingwithChooChoo]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I’ll be in Amsterdam at the end of April and I’ll be staying at hotel in the airport for three nights. It’s the Sheraton Amsterdam airport hotel. So I’ll be needing to take the train downtown for canal cruises and other things. This is a very informative guide! Do we have to go through a security check before we board the train? Thanks once again

[@TinagirlTravels]

No security to board, have a fantastic trip!

Hey good evening, I love your video, my family and I will be visiting the Netherlands in September going from Schipol Airport to Breda then to Rotterdam then to Utrecht using the train. Do you have any tips for us. THX

[@TinagirlTravels]

It’s so easy and straightforward and people are very willing to help. We were there again last month and used the train every day hopping from one city to the next.

[@JohnathanPen]

Great video on transportation to the airport. I plan to have a 6 hr layover in Amsterdam next month. Wondering how long the security line would take for me to go through all that and still make it back in time for my flight back to the States.

[@TinagirlTravels]

Good question! We were shocked how long that line was in July. We went through it again last month and it took no time at all. I think it just depends, ask when you get there.

[@UnitedRobloxian]

you really should not its always chaos there

[@weeardguy]

@@TinagirlTravels When you were there, the luggage-handling and security was facing the worst chaos ever due to shortage of staff. Things have improved since and I don't hear people complain about it anymore and given that Dutch people have a habit of compaining, I guess that's a good thing ;)

[@1121gsm]

Excellent video! The hint about finding the correct train track was especially helpful and is not mentioned elsewhere. I think I now what you meant by "tap" the credit card but I'd like to clarify it. I'm used to inserting the credit card in the US and have only seen the tapping a few times. Is there an insert place to use the credit card or do I have to tap? Thanks.

[@TinagirlTravels]

You can most definitely insert the card as well. We’re use to tapping here in Canada. Thanks for watching!

[@1121gsm]

@@TinagirlTravels Thank you.

[@sebastiancanese9931]

Tapping with contactless payments is the norm now in the Netherlands and most of the world. Without a contactless card you won't be able to use paid restrooms, for example

Thanks so much! I am planning to take the train ride from Amsterdam Centraal to Amsterdam Schipol Airport on Thursday Dec 7 around 7-8am time. I will have 2 checked baggage and one carry on with me. Am i allowed to travel the train with that many luggage? Thanks!

[@TinagirlTravels]

Absolutely, there was no limit for luggage. Two suitcases and a carry on is reasonable.

[@thomasschwab1631]

How long do you think it take to get through security for a 10 AM flight on August 17? Don’t you also have to go through customs?

[@TinagirlTravels]

I believe they ask you to be there at least 3 hours ahead, check with your airline. Happy travels!

[@Sophie_kent]

Great info! Amsterdam ok for a female solo traveler?

[@TinagirlTravels]

Absolutely safe, I would not hesitate to travel there on my own, just use good judgment.

[@gigichavez28]

Question... If you have to transfer from a train to a bus/metro for your itinerary, do you need to get another ticket for the bus/metro or is it included in the train ticket?

[@TinagirlTravels]

I believe you just tap your card/ticket and keep going to your destination.

[@weeardguy]

That depends on the ticket you buy. If you use a debit/credit card to pay by just tapping in and out, you will pay the full fare all the time. Depending on how much you will be using public transport, a dedicated single-use ticket that is valid for a day and could even be valid on multiple modalities, could be the better option. Unfortunately, giving you the cheapest option is next to impossible as the tariffsystem has become very complex these days. Tapping in and out with a debit/credit card saves you the hassle of buying tickets all the time, but that way you can miss out on discounts you will get with a dedicated ticket.

[@DVu-ki7nn]

Q: Train run 24 hours? Thanks.

[@TinagirlTravels]

From what I can see, from 1am-6 am they run hourly, otherwise they run every 10-15 minutes. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!

[@suemoravec422]

where do you put your luggage on the train

[@TinagirlTravels]

We just kept our luggage with us at our seat as seen at 4:29

[@tosco92]

Should cell phone tickets at turnstiles be endorsed?

[@TinagirlTravels]

I’m not sure about how that works.

[@samroy5967]

Is it necessary to validate/scan the ticket before boarding the train? I’ve heard if you don’t validate your ticket you won’t be able to exit the turnstile at your destination? 😮 Question is WHERE AND HOW to validate train tkts? 🤔

[@TinagirlTravels]

That’s true, it’s kind of a paper magnetic kind of card, you just tap at the turnstile, it’s a clear glass reader on every turnstile. Tap and go, and if you have a problem, there’s always someone at the station that can help.

[@weeardguy]

You will always be able to exit a trainstation via the turnstiles, even if you didn't tap in. BUT, when using a regular chipcard (I don't know how this works with a debit/credit card), this will make you lose a certain amount of money as you didn't tap in, with the railways assuming that you travelled from somewhere, deducting a certain amount from the card (I expect the full deposit of 20 euro, but not sure). One can ask for a refund should this have happened to you.

[@rocingersol5060]

This is certainly inexpensive. If you're not a budget traveler, or if you are traveling with several people, just get an Uber from your hotel. We paid less than 30 Euro to get from the airport to the Marriot Stadhouderskade.

[@TinagirlTravels]

Yes! Uber is definitely another option.

[@weeardguy]

If you are with a group ánd you travel during off-peak hours on a working day or during a weekend or national holiday, a group ticket for the train can save you some serious money (I've seen discounts that surpass the 40% mark, but it depends on the amount of travellers and distance). A group-ticket is only available online unfortunately.

[@beew7384]

A closer pronunciation would be: skiphol

[@wizardfones4113]

You are pronouncing the Amsterdam airport name wrong.

I've been wondering how long it would take for someone to bring this up. My Dutch relatives say "Sh-kip-ol" which is what I originally said in my video, the "k" sound threw me off so, I Googled it when I came home and it said to pronounce it "Ship-ol". Consider it the Canadian version I guess! 😂
