AMS airport questions

Fast answers with operational caveats where they matter.

Is there a train station at Schiphol?

Yes. The station is directly under Schiphol Plaza and is one of the airport's main advantages for city access.

Can I visit Amsterdam on a layover?

Potentially, on a sufficiently long connection. Include passport control, rail time and a conservative return-security buffer.
