The bulk of tourists arrive in the Kingdom of the Netherlands by air. There are more than a dozen airports here, but three are especially popular with travelers - Schiphol in Amsterdam, Rotterdam The Hague and Eindhoven, seven kilometers from the city of the same name. These airports in Holland receive tens of thousands of passengers every day who want to get to know the land of tulips..

Record holder in every respect

  •  Schiphol handles nearly fifty million passengers annually, and more than a third of them fly intercontinental.
  • The volume of cargo transported by Schiphol is up to one and a half million tons annually, and this figure is second only to the Paris and Frankfurt airports..
  • Holland's Amsterdam Airport has been voted the best in the Old World for 15 consecutive years, and has a four-star Skytrax rating. Less than a dozen airports in the world have received this honor..
  • Soaring 101 meters into the Amsterdam sky in 1991, the Schiphol tower was the tallest among its kind for several years. Interestingly, the very territory of the air gate of the Kingdom of the Netherlands lies three meters below sea level.
  • Seven times the Amsterdam airport in Holland was recognized as the best airport on the planet.

There is a single terminal at Schiphol Airport, the area of ​​which is divided into three halls, connected by a system of transitions. All infrastructure, including shops, restaurants, lounges and even a branch of the Rijksmuseum, are located under one roof.
Schiphol is just over 17 kilometers from Amsterdam. They can be overcome by electric trains departing from the platform under the main hall. Travel tickets are purchased at the automatic ticket offices in yellow and blue. Travel time does not exceed 20 minutes, and trains arrive at the main railway station in the center of Amsterdam.
