If you’ve found your way to this website, you might live in the Netherlands – or you might be planning a weekend trip or a short break in Amsterdam. Before you’re ready to check out all my recommendations for the fantastic restaurants in Amsterdam, you’re going to need to get here! So I’ve put together this short travel guide with practical information and tips to help you.
Amsterdam travel: by air
Schiphol airport is a huge hub, which means that most national carriers and budget airlines fly direct to Amsterdam. For obvious reasons, Dutch national airline KLM offers the most flights in and out of the capital, while Transavia now offers flights in and out of Amsterdam, Eindhoven and Rotterdam airports. You can compare prices among all airlines on sites like Skyscanner, Expedia and GoEuro.
Amsterdam travel: by train and bus
If you’re already in northern Europe, Amsterdam is easy to reach by train and bus. There are regular trains from Paris and Brussels on the Thalys, while FlixBus has bus routes to the Netherlands from neighbouring Belgium and Germany. GoEuro can help you find the best route and means of transport.
