Amsterdam Central Station is a historical landmark and an important public transportation hub for finding your way through Amsterdam and the Netherlands. The station has an excellent connection with all sorts of transport such as the train, bus, metro, tram, taxi, or even boat.
The main hall in the station offers regular train lines to other parts of town or to other Dutch cities. The two most common types of trains that you can take are the so called Intercity trains, which stop at the various major cities, and the Sprinter train, which also stops at the smaller towns in between. You can recognize both of these trains by their bright yellow color. A trip to Utrecht only takes about 25 minutes; Rotterdam or The Hague between 40 and 50 minutes. Schiphol Airport is only 15 minutes away. Trains to these locations go every quarter of an hour. However, note that between around 12 at night and 6 in the morning these only go about once an hour.
If you want to travel internationally to Antwerp, Brussels or Paris, you can also take one of the various highspeed trains called Fyra and Thalys. A trip with one of these trains to Paris will take little over 3 hours, almost 2 hours faster than by car.
