Amsterdam Airport Schiphol
Overview
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is a vibrant hub that's easily accessible by air, land, or sea, making it one of Europe’s top travel destinations. With its affordable flights across Europe and direct routes from beyond the continent, Schiphol ranks as Europe’s fourth-largest airport.
More Than an Airport
Schiphol positions itself as more than just an airport. According to its mini-guide, available at information desks, it is considered the Netherlands’ newest city, catering to more than just the casual traveler.
Unique Attractions
What distinguishes Schiphol from other European airports are its unique attractions, including a casino, sauna, and massage services. While there were once talks of introducing a discreet licensed establishment, even the liberal Dutch required more time to consider such a venture.
Location and Accessibility
Schiphol is conveniently located off the A4 motorway, connecting Amsterdam with The Hague and Rotterdam. The exit to the airport is clearly marked, ensuring easy access for travelers.
Parking Options
For parking, Schiphol offers two short-term options: P1 and P2, both connected to the terminal via covered walkways, suitable for stays up to 48 hours. Long-term parking is available at the open-air P3, located 4 kilometers from the terminal. A 24-hour shuttle bus links P3 with the terminal. Additionally, a luxury car park and valet service are available.
Highlights and Considerations
Schiphol’s appeal lies in having all attractions under one roof, eliminating the stress of terminal hopping. The sprawling Schiphol Plaza serves as the central hub, providing easy access to amenities, including 40 shops, and connections to car parks and the rail station.
The airport also excels in its catering services offered both before and after passport control, and includes thoughtful amenities like a nursery for families traveling with young children. Its proximity to Amsterdam and excellent transport links make it even more attractive. Aviation enthusiasts will appreciate the viewing terrace, considered the best among Europe’s major airports.
Challenges
Despite its many advantages, Schiphol has faced challenges with baggage handling, affecting transfer passengers. Additionally, some travelers find the airport’s airside business center less than ideal.
Overall, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol remains a key point of entry into Europe, offering a mix of convenience, amenities, and accessibility.
