How To Travel From Amsterdam Schiphol Airport to Amsterdam Central Station By Train.

[@_jcjay_]

As of today (31/01/23) buying a ticket is not necessary anymore if you have a bankcard, visa or mastercard. You can check-in and out (tap your card against the card poles) with your bankcard/creditcard to get through the barriers to enter the platform and to travel by train. Your train fare will be deducted from your bank account.

Thank you so much for watching and also given more information how to use your bank card.I really appreciate that. Thank you once again

[@zarel22]

good to know, thank you!

[@alecsalovera82395]

Hi! Is this applicable even in Schiphol?

[@josteinholen1312]

I did this when traveling to the airport, but there were no stalls to check out, when I got to the airport, so I was charged the maximum amount.

[@jelmerdevries3211]

​​@@josteinholen1312 At Schiphol Airport they don't use the gates due to the lay-out of the train station below the plaza. There are however several small (yellow/blue) poles to check in and out instead of the gates like at Amsterdam Central and most other stations.

Amsterdam is awesome and the public transportation makes it so easy to get around

Just watched your video, and I have to say it was an amazing experience, felt like I was right there on the train and walking around amongst the people, thank you so much for allowing me to have this experience, ❤

[@countryculture629]

Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ramyyoussef9220]

that is exactly what every one need to know when visiting for the first time..thank you so much

[@countryculture629]

Thank you so much for watching ❤️❤️

[@christopherhennessey8991]

Yes .I remember when I was last in Schiphol . I purchased a train ticket and a Strippenkaart ,for the light rail in Central Amsterdam.

[@weeardguy]

So that's at least something like 11 to 13 years ago ;) Unfortunately, the days of cheap and convenient travel for tourists are long gone...

[@christopherhennessey8991]

@@weeardguy Actually, I was last in Amsterdam 14 years ago.

[@weeardguy]

@@christopherhennessey8991 Had to be ;) Around that time, the first region started to refuse the Strippenkaart on board the metro in favour of the electronic card, which was then available almost throughout the whole country by then, just not mandatory in most places, though other regions quickly followed in the years after, with the trains only fully adopting the new 'system' in 2014. Yeah, pity that card is gone, it made everything a lot easier.

[@countryculture629]

Thanks for watching.the strippenkaart time is over.Now OV chip card and bank debit cards is what you can use in the Netherlands

[@LingLiu2014]

Beautiful city I was there in 2004 for a week and it was awesome. Friendly people :)

[@countryculture629]

Indeed Amsterdam is a beautiful city.

[@JermoMetGames]

On one note! As far as I know (as a Dutch person) Officially, you need to tab the given ticket against the yellow 'check-in' poles!

[@countryculture629]

Thanks for watching.Indeed you need to checkin and checkout. Thanks once again ❤️❤️

[@HANSMKAMP]

I remember a story of a few Japanese tourists, just landed on Schiphol. They wanted to visit or go to a hotel in Amsterdam itself. They took a taxi, but the driver was a scammer. At the end of the taxi trip, they had to pay more than 100 euros! Taxis are a serious problems. There are honest taxi drivers, but also scammers. If you take the train to Amsterdam Centraal, you can avoid all this. The one way ticket costs a little bit more than 5 euros, and that's it. Your wallet isn't suddenly way thinner, but you are in the centre of Amsterdam, that's what counts!

[@countryculture629]

Thank you so much for watching.Funny story,yes it is cheap and easy to go with bus or train.The Amsterdam transport system is perfect even if you are going to another city it very easy.Thanks once again for watching ❤️❤️

[@weeardguy]

Yeah, but what I hate about stories like these is that people tend to say this is a Dutch problem, while when I landed at Kyiv Borispol 5,5 years ago, the first PA-announcement I heard was 'Only follow the route to official taxis. Do not use taxi-services offered to you unsollicited'. Difference though that where Schiphol has very agressive looking scammers (especially with their constant shouting, desperately hoping someone will choose them), I did not see any of those kind of people at Kyiv Borispol.

[@xnoname223]

Hi Do you recommend first class if international students arrived from schiphol and planning to Utrecht Centraal with luggages? Or should i just get a taxi from schiphol which then can be very expensive Im just feeling a bit anxious how crowded it will be & if i even strong enough to carry the luggage between the lane and the door step entrance of the train 😢

[@임진영]

All good 🙂👏

[@AdamClauson]

Great video thanks for sharing! I'll be traveling from the airport to Amsterdam Centraal and I bought my train tickets online in advance and got a QR code. But I'm a little confused on the "check in." Is there somewhere I need to scan my train tickets at Schipol? Or do I just get on the train and only need to scan my QR code as I'm leaving Amsterdam Centraal as seen at 7:50 ? And same for the return trip, am I only scanning my QR code when entering Amsterdam Centraal and then once I get on the train and arrive at the airport am I done or do I need to scan them elsewhere? Thanks :)

[@countryculture629]

Thanks for watching,I really appreciate it.At the airport before the elevators to the train platforms there is machine for check in.You need to check in and check out always

[@AdamClauson]

@@countryculture629 Thank you for the quick reply! Ok sounds good! When checking in and checking out I just use the same QR code I bought for that specific day yea?

[@weeardguy]

@@AdamClauson I know I'm late but for everyone else reading this: Schiphol does NOT feature QR-scanners for tickets bought online, only validators without scanning windows. Only exception is when you bought Holland Travel tickets and such, as these have to be collected at the blue ticket machines (and darn, I hope it works out because they malfunction so, so often (workday regular traveller here). Even if you did not tap in with a QR-code, you can always tap out when you encounter gates at a different station. No matter where you are, the gates will always open with a QR-code.

Beautiful ❤

[@IamMagsB]

no picpockets! What a breath of fresh air. But im confused, it says on the board that Amsterdam Centraal is #1 but you got on #2.

[@countryculture629]

[@countryculture629]

Thank you for watching. I am glad you noticed that.These are some of the behaviors some passengers.❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@EftelingCoasterfreak]

[@demircelik-dm2cw]

When you go into wrong platform with ticket , can you go out ?

[@countryculture629]

Thanks for watching. Can change platform without any problem.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@pinkhairblackman8141]

the sign says spoor platform 1 but the train has the number 2, thats confusing af

[@weeardguy]

I guess it's a good idea to educate yourself a slight bit on standard class and first class on board trains, because I think you are referring to the class-indications on the train itself, which tell you were you will find first class seats and standard class seats (and to be honest, forget about first class on most Sprinters, you only get a bit of extra space for your legs, the seats are the same shitseats as in standard class)

[@pinkhairblackman8141]

@@weeardguy wow thanks i wouldnt have found that info anywhere

[@RolandoSV]

how long is the ride?

[@countryculture629]

From the airport to central station cost €4.90.Thanks for watching ❤️

[@janbaukespoelstra6839]

Welcomecto the trainsystem in the Netherlands😂 well this train is extra long and all the passengers stick together😂

[@countryculture629]

Thank you very much for watching.❤️

[@SuhailKhan-vr6ik]

Do the stations have elevators? I will have a large suitcase as well as a carry on luggage. Will I have to take them through the escalator? That seems kind of risky

[@ratelslangen]

All stations in the country have elevators

[@weeardguy]

@@ratelslangen Nope, they don't. Zaandam Kogerveld is one of those stations where you will not find an elevator, but only a (quite recently) elongated ramp or stairs. There probably are more stations that don't feature an elevator, but in that case there's always a ramp.

[@weeardguy]

Schiphol has rolling ramps, escalators and elevators, so you won't be in trouble there. Most stations have elevators and if there is no elevator, there's a ramp. EDIT: the rolling ramps at Schiphol have been removed since January 2024 or so...

[@countryculture629]

Thanks for watching ❤️

Igorance putting bag on seats not giving it up to someone in need 3.55.Typical of them

[@countryculture629]

Thanks for watching. I appreciate ❤️

[@jamescrawford8121]

I noticed everyone on the train looking at their phones, when I went it was before smart phones and I'm just thinking it would have been a lot easier getting around with one when I was there.

[@countryculture629]

Thanks for watching,this is what is going on nowadays,people don’t even see the stations they are going.It’s sad.

[@weeardguy]

And I'm always glad I'm not one of those people ;) True, most people are extremely addicted to their phone, but a minority is still looking at the world as it passes by ;)
