Getting Around

From the Airport

Travel from the Amsterdam Schiphol Aiport is an easy 20 minute train ride to the Leiden Central Station. The train platforms are located directly below the Schiphol Plaza. Tickets can be purchased from the yellow kiosks with a credit or debit card that contains a chip. (To pay by cash or via a credit/debit card without a chip, you will need to go to the ticket counter in the aiport loby.) Trains to Leiden depart every 10-15 minutes, usually from Platform 5 or 6.
