Pro Tips

  • The Schiphol train station is directly below the terminal — one of the best airport-to-city rail connections in the world.
  • Schiphol's single-terminal design means you almost never need to exit security for connections — very smooth.
  • The Rijksmuseum has a branch inside the airport, post-security — a genuinely world-class temporary art space.
  • Holland Casino is inside the airport if you want to gamble between flights (past security).
  • Dutch duty-free prices for Gouda cheese, Heineken, and Delftware are genuinely attractive.
  • Schiphol is well below sea level — the airport is built on reclaimed land from Lake Haarlem.
  • Connections through Schiphol are smooth; KLM and Air France have seamless interline operations.
