How to Get Here
By train
Amsterdam Centraal is one of Europe’s busiest rail hubs, with direct connections from across the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France and beyond. High-speed services such as Eurostar, Thalys and ICE arrive here. From Centraal, Capital C is around 10–15 minutes away by tram, metro or taxi.By plane
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is one of Europe’s largest international airports, with flights from more than 300 destinations worldwide. Trains from Schiphol to Amsterdam Centraal run every few minutes and take 15–20 minutes. From Centraal, it’s a short tram, metro or taxi ride to Capital C. You can also take Metro 52 from Zuid if you connect there.By bus
Long-distance bus operators such as FlixBus and BlaBlaCar Bus arrive at Amsterdam Sloterdijk. From Sloterdijk, take a 10-minute train to Amsterdam Centraal, then continue by tram, metro or taxi to Capital C.By car
Amsterdam is easily reached by road from across the Netherlands and neighbouring countries. Parking near Capital C is limited and can be expensive, so we recommend using Park & Ride (P+R) facilities on the outskirts of the city. From there, tram and metro lines provide quick, direct routes to the centre.By bike
Cycling is one of the easiest ways to get around Amsterdam. Capital C is well connected by bike paths from all parts of the city, and bike rentals are widely available.
