Travel from Schiphol using public transportation.

The trip from Schiphol to Amsterdam Centraal takes around 20 minutes and costs around 5 Euro. There are some buses leaving from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol as well, but we warmly recommend using the railway system.
You can book your train ticket online at www.ns.nl, or you can buy it from the different ticket machines at the airport.
Travel to and from Schiphol with a car.
Do you have a car and would like to park it on Schiphol while picking up some friends, or maybe you want to bring some guests back to the airport after their trip to Amsterdam? Schiphol might be one of the biggest airports in Europe, but it is very easy to use, also if you arrive by car.
Would you like to park your car for a few minutes or maybe for a few hours while waiting for your guests to arrive? There is a parking house (P1) which is ideal for this sort of parking, and the price is about €2,5 Euro per 20 minutes. As you park your car, you can easily walk to the different terminals in the airport within 5-10 minutes, making it easy both to escort travels to their departure gates, or to pick up friends and family members arriving to one of the many terminals.
Is it enough for you to park for 30 seconds to drop of a guest or pick up someone already standing outside the terminal waiting for you? There are drop off points for departures outside the terminals, but it is important to know that this is guarded, and you are not allowed to park there for a long time. In other words, you must drop off your guest at once, give them a kiss/hug, and leave… there is no time for following them into the terminal or any such activity. If you are picking up someone at the airport, make sure that they stand available so that they can jump into the car before traveling on, because you are not allowed to park at this area and wait for several minutes for a guest that isn’t there yet.

Eindhoven Airport is the second most used airport in the Netherlands. Eindhoven is a popular city and it is known for its technology and it is the city in which the Philips brand was born. If you come to the Netherlands by plane and arrive at Eindhoven Airport, these instructions will help you.
