 1. ICE International in
Amsterdam Central Station by Nemorino, 4 more photos
The journey takes only four hours and twenty minutes because part of it is over the new high speed line between Frankfurt and Cologne, where speeds of up to three hundred kilometers per hour are possible.
Second photo: Where the new tracks run parallel to the freeway, you can sit back and watch all those fancy sports cars get left behind by the train.
Third photo: A second-class coach in the ICE International.
Fourth photo: Selling coffee in the ICE International.
Fifth photo: Boarding the ICE International at Cologne (Köln), Germany. Leave a Comment

1) Any big yellow ticket machine dotted around the station
2) Make sure you have change in coins
3) select destination
4) 2nd Class - make sure you do travel in 2nd Klas
5) Enkle reis (single trip)
6) today only or another date
7) no of tickets
The machine will give you change & spit out your ticket
Please note that you cannot use your own debit card in these machines as a "PIN" card is local to a Dutch bank account. You can use a Visa / Maestro credit card Leave a Comment

There are change machines dotted in the station this one was in the ticket office
It accepts Euro 5, 10, 20 & spits out coins of Euro 2, 1 & 50c
We were late for our train because we didn't realise this & discovered the machine in a last ditch attempt to queue at the office & pay an extra 50c Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Trainstation, as seen from the
"IJ"-side by Pavlik_NL
From the airport it is quite easy to reach Amsterdam. Underneath the airport are the stages from where trains leave almost every ten minutes towards Amsterdam Central Station. The fare is cheap and the connection is swift.
2. from other places outside The Netherlands
There are intercity-trains from Paris and Brussels (Thalys) as well as from Germany (Frankfurt - Köln - Düsseldorf and Berlin - Hannover) that offer a comfortable ride and have as endstop Amsterdam.
,b>3 from other places within The Netherlands
Our country has more or less a combination between a train and a metro-network. The density is high and the frequency on busy lines as well (every 15 minutes). For further details look at the Dutch Railways (called "NS"). Leave a Comment

 Railway station building by bugulma
Besides Amsterdam has famous Schiphol airport. I was there in 2003 for transit flight to Stuutgart. It is one of the biggest airport I've ever seen. It has the train station and it is very easy to go to the city indeed, I think around 10 minutes approximatly. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

However, it only takes about 20 minutes and is cheaper than any other mode of transportation including bus, so why not? Leave a Comment Theme: Train

We arrived to Amsterdam from Paris by the Thalys train. It's a high speed train that link Paris (Gare du Nord) and Amsterdam (Centraal Station) in 4 heures and 10 minutes. In fact the trip is so fast till Brussels, but it become slower in Northern Belgium and The Netherlands because it's not really a "high speed" system and the train stops in a lot of cities, both in Belgium (Antwerp) and The Netherlands (Rotterdam, The Hague, Schiphol Airport).
It's quite confortable, mainly because you will come from the Paris (or the other places) city centre to Amsterdam downtown, without expensive transfers. On the other hand Thalys trains are a bit old and sometimes (in our return trip) toilets smell so bad from the very begining. Leave a Comment
