Hi jet-setters it's Calvin I'm at Schiphol International Airport which is
an Amsterdam today and I'm taking the train into the city center it's supposed
to be really simple and fast I thought I'd show you guys what it's like let's
go
okay everyone we're at the train station now in the airport and we're about to
buy some tickets so I'll show you how that goes
there's actually three ways to do this first of all you can actually buy your
tickets online when you're at home and you save I think a euro when you do it
that way you just set the date that you want to
go buy the ticket and then you can really get on any train that day for the
transportation between the airport and the city so you save the euro if you buy
it online ahead of time another way to buy it is just right
through the machines and the way that works is you go up to the Machine you
put in the destination that you want to go to and the number of tickets you want
and then the Machine takes coins and credit cards doesn't take bills so you
put your coins in or your credit card and then the ticket comes out at the
bottom
and then the last way is just to go on the line up at the actual ticket office
and they are super helpful there and they can help you buy the ticket
with a person where in front of you so after you buy your ticket you need to
take it out of the machine and you have to validate it on the validators when
you go downstairs to your train
okay everyone we're on the platform now and to know which train to get on all
you need to do is one of two things first of all you can look at the board
that's above the ticketing area and it shows you where the trains are going or
simply you can just look above the entrances to each of the platforms and
it just gives a list of the stops the trains are going on that platform and
it's quite organized for the people going to Central... there's usually people
downstairs directing you so that's not so difficult if you get a little bit
lost - now one thing to note I'm showing you one particular type of train
that I'm gonna be on going to central but there are a whole bunch of different
types that go there there's double deckers or single Decker's so don't
worry what the Train looks like if it doesn't match what I'm showing you in
this video it's probably going to Central if it says Central on that
okay every one we're in central Amsterdam now in front of the absolutely
spectacular Central Station and it only took about 15 minutes to come from the
airport so super fast not expensive at all it was 5.50 euros to get in and
fairly simple to get the connection now one thing you better remember is you
need to keep your ticket because not only do you need to tap on to get on the
train but you also have to tap out to get out of the station so keep that
ticket handy for when you're exiting one thing I didn't mention as well is that
if you're on a connecting flight at Schiphol and it's a long connection it's
really easy to come into the city Central Station is right where there's a
lots of stuff to see there's canals and beautiful buildings and all kinds of fun
places to walk around in this area as well so you can hop on the train get
into the city for a couple hours then go back to your flight so don't don't miss
that opportunity if you're even just connecting in the city so I hope you
