If you are planning to come to Amsterdam, it’s nice to not stay too far away from the airport Schiphol. That usually saves you lots of travel time. Amsterdam has the look and vibes of a metropolis, but on the other hand it is also small and easy to reach. That makes the city a perfect holiday destination.
The public transport in the Netherlands is very well organized. The Amsterdam Airport is located just below the city and is easily accessible by train. Underneath the airport is a train station. From here you will get to Amsterdam Central Station within 20 minutes. Here you take the bus, metro or tram to other parts of the city.

Are you looking for a place to stay near the airport? There are plenty of hotels in the immediate area. However, they are not cosy and cheap. The area around the airport is not very interesting. Consider renting a spot in the city itself. In every area you will find plenty of hotels and apartments. The accommodations are mostly laid out in cosy Amsterdam neighbourhoods. That makes it immediately a lot more fun to explore the city.
For example, take the IJburg. In this area you will find the beautiful apartment The Green Tunnel. IJburg is a quiet and modern part of the city, located in a natural setting on the IJsselmeer. This inspired the owner of The Green Tunnel to decorate the apartment as ecologically as possible. But with the necessary luxury, it will feel like you are staying in a hotel.
The IJburg area is near the Central Station. Within 40 minutes you will be from the Amsterdam Airport at The Green Tunnel apartment.
Within 20 minutes you can be in downtown Amsterdam from IJburg. Here you have all the tourist attractions within easy reach. The surroundings of Amsterdam have so much more to offer.
