Travelling information

travel
Most international carriers serve the Netherlands, beginning
of course with KLM, the Dutch national airline. Schiphol
International Airport is connected by rail to
central Amsterdam.
Train
This mode of transportation has a reputation for great
efficiency. An extensive network gives access to the most
remote areas of the country.
You can avail yourself of many good package deals:
Euro DOmino for tickets on the Dutch Rail in the
Netherlands
Railrover § Links very good deal since it includes
unrestricted travel on Dutch trains and other means of public
transportation throughout the Netherlands
Benelux Tourrail: good for discovering the Netherlands,
Belgium, and Luxembourg at reduced price
Eurail Pass: valid in 17 European countries
Public transportation in cities
You will find a very well organized system of tramways
and buses in all the cities.
Hours: from 6 a.m. to midnight (night buses available
in the large cities)
Car: If the train is the ideal way to travel between
cities, renting a car can be fun for "playing hookey" and
discovering the charming little roads in the countryside.
The highway system is excellent and has no toll roads.
And don't forget, of course...the bicycle!!!
