Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) nach Amsterdam Centraal, Museumplein & Leidseplein: Zug, Bus & Taxi [2026]

📍 Distance: 17 km
⚡ Schnellste: 14 min
💰 Ab: €5.20 ($5.65)
🏆 Empfehlung: NS Train (14 min) / Bus 397 (Museumplein)
⚡ Schnell-Fazit in 10 Sekunden:

For Amsterdam Centraal, Dam Square & Canal Belt, take the NS Train directly beneath Schiphol Plaza (14–17 minutes, €5.20—just tap your contactless debit/credit card at the yellow pole!). However, if your hotel is near Museumplein (Rijksmuseum / Van Gogh), Concertgebouw, or Leidseplein, do NOT go to Centraal Station—take the red Bus 397 (Amsterdam Airport Express) from Platform B17 (28 mins, €6.50 direct)!

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) is 17 km southwest of central Amsterdam. The NS railway station sits directly underneath the central arrivals hall (Schiphol Plaza), making it one of the fastest airport-to-city transfers in the world.

Tickets, Gepäck & Ankunft nach Mitternacht

🎟️ Tickets & Bezahlung

Save €1.00 per ticket: Thanks to the Dutch **OVpay** system, you no longer need to queue at the yellow NS ticket machines (which charge a €1.00 disposable card fee). Simply tap your contactless Visa, Mastercard, or Apple/Google Pay on the yellow card reader at Schiphol Plaza before taking the escalator down to Platforms 1–3, and tap out at Amsterdam Centraal!

🧳 Reisen mit Koffern

All NS trains and Bus 397 are step-free and accommodate luggage easily.

🌙 Ankunft spät in der Nacht

🚫 Typische Fehler & Touristenfallen am Flughafen

  • Taking the train to Amsterdam Centraal when your hotel is near Museumplein or Leidseplein — you’ll have to backtrack 25 minutes on a tram! Take red Bus 397 outside Schiphol Plaza Platform B17 instead.
  • Forgetting to tap your bank card at the yellow OVpay pole on Schiphol Plaza before going down the escalator (there are no turnstile barriers at Schiphol, only open yellow reader poles!).
  • Never accept rides from touts inside Schiphol Plaza—walk outside to the official "Schiphol Travel Taxi" lane or the designated Uber pickup point. Also note: buying a paper train ticket at the yellow NS machine adds a €1 surcharge; simply tap your contactless debit/credit card ("OVpay") at the yellow station poles to pay the base €5.20 fare.
