by Mariajoy Having only travelled to Amsterdam by plane and coach - I have never actually arrived at Centraal Station. It has regular connections with key cities in Germany, Belgium and France as well as larger towns and cities in other parts of the Netherlands. Just outside the station are the trams #4, #9, #16 #20, #24, #25., as well as buses and taxis. The photo was taken at dusk - from PrinsHendrikkaade. Leave a Comment

 Central station by Helga67 Centraal Station (CS) lies in the heart of Amsterdam, only a few minutes walk from the Dam. Four times a day the high-speed train "Thalys" arrives here, coming from Paris and Brussels/Antwerp. The train station is a beautiful and big building. In front of the building is a big square where you will find the tourist office, tram terminal and boat rentals. Luggage lockers can be found at the left side of the train station. For 3.5 EUR you can put your luggage away for 24 hours. The luggage room, however, is closed from 11 pm to 7 am. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

Amsterdam's Centraal Station - busy, bustling and hectic during the day... and much the same at night! You can get trains here to other cities within the Netherlands and the ICE train to other European countries. The staff here are (in my experience) very helpful and patient with non-Dutch travellers! The queues at the ticket offices are long and the ticket machines don't accept paper money so be prepared! The website has more info in English. Leave a Comment

This is the main railway station where all the international trains arrive and depart. It was built in 1889 in Neo-Renaissance style on an artificial island, supported by more than 10,000 tree trunks that were rammed into the sandy ground. Second photo: In the Central Station, track 8b. Third photo: GVB is the public transport company of Amsterdam. They have a very well organized ticket and information office right in front of the central station. Take a number when you go in, and before you've had a chance to look around your number will flash on a screen and tell you which counter to go to. (Well, it might take a bit longer when a major international train has just arrived, but you get the idea.) Leave a Comment

 Centraal Station, AMS by jenniferchin I like the look of the Centraal Station. It has a reddish majestic air about it. The station is huge as its the Focal point of all trains (domestic and international) in the Netherlands. The station is equipped with many restaurants/fast food outlets, a very good Tourist Information centre, public amenities, money changers ..etc. Having said that, there is major construction work near the station when we were there. Apparently the works have been going on for some time now. An interesting read over at http://www.glasssteelandstone.com/BuildingDetail.php?ID=208 Leave a Comment Theme: Train

 Centraal Station by zrim This must be the must photographed location in Amsterdam--I think every VT page on Amsterdam has a picture of the train station. So why should my page be any different. It is big, bold, beautiful, busy....eh, it's a train station. The great thing about Centraal Station, though, is the fact that once you disembark, you are thrown right into the thick of the hustle and bustle ofcentral Amsterdam. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

 Amsterdam Central Station: East side tracks by pieter_jan_v, 4 more photos The Amsterdam Central Station was the first Dutch Station designed by an architect. In 1876 P.J.H. Cuypers started the design with the aid of A.L. van Gendt. From 1882 till 1889 the 306 by 30 meter building was constructed. The most used train connection is the one from the Schiphol Airport Station to the Amsterdam-Centraal Station Here are the smaller Amsterdam train stations: -Amsterdam-Amstel -Amsterdam-Sloterdijk -Amsterdam-Bijlmer -Amsterdam-Muiderpoort -Amsterdam-Lelylaan -Amsterdam-RAI -Amsterdam-Zuid-WTC For traveltimes look at the Dutch Railway site or the Dutch Public transportation site.

 Central Station by LolaSanFrancisco Heres a photo of this place. You'll be here alot. All trams come and go from here, and this is the main train station if your comming from another location in Europe. It's also walking distance Dam Square, and most likely your hotel.

 Inside Central Station by BlueBerry_7 The train system is not as useful within Amsterdam as the tram, bus, metro, and light rail network. In addition to Centraal Station, which is the public transportation hub, there are seven stations in the city: Station Zuid World Trade Center, Station RAI, and Amstel Station in the south; Station Lelylaan, Station De Vlugtlaan, and Station Sloterdijk in the west; and Muiderpoort Station in the east. Because the transportation system is highly integrated, all railway stations are served by two or more of the other modes as well. The train comes into its own for longer distances. It's by far the best way to get to Schiphol Airport, Haarlem, Amsterdam's seaside resort Zandvoort, Hoorn on the IJsselmeer shore, and all other points in Holland. The system is Europe's most punctual-almost 98% of trains leave and arrive within 4 minutes of the scheduled time. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

 Amsterdam Centraal. by A2002 This is the central train station in Amsterdam. This is where you should arrive from Schipol if you are going to the main tourist areas. There are many trams and buses that stop outside the station. There are very good and extensive transport system to other parts of the Netherlands from this station. North, South, East, West, where do you want to go? :-) Leave a Comment Theme: Train
