Central Station
Amsterdam Central Station is probably the busiest district in the city. Literally situated a few minutes fro Schipol Airport, it is a meeting point for ones and departure point for others. Trams, trains, buses and subways make for a true hive of activity at Stationsplein 1, located on the South bank of the IJ. Buy your tickets for the sneltrein, stoptrein or TGV in and around Holland and other major European cities at one of the NS (National Spoorwagen) counters or machines. From Central Station you can also catch a ferry connecting the city to Amsterdam Noord, across the t’IJ. Ferries are free and you can board one just behind the station. Furthermore, all the top attractions and main districts are within easy reach whether by foot or tram, the cheapest ways of getting around Amsterdam. For visitors to Amsterdam, it is worth knowing that trams run until midnight, the last one leaving at 12:15. After the last tram, there is an hourly service of night buses.
