On a layover from Portugal, I decided to step foot out the airport. Normally a cut off time for decision should be 4 hours but I took the chance!

Thanks for this video! I’m a solo traveler as well, and have been all over the world. I have a 24 hour layover in Amsterdam in 2 weeks. So excited!! Sometimes I get scared bc of transportation especially if I’m not driving myself. But I’m going to take the train like you did and go to the central area and get a hotel for the night. Thanks

No problem! Yes the train was very accessible and reasonable price wise. It’s your best bet! Transit was very clean and efficient

Thanks for the tips. I was able to go walk around and have lunch in Amsterdam. I had a 5 hour layover. 15 minutes from gate to the train station. 20 minutes from Schiphol to Central Station. 10 minutes from Central Station to the narrow and colorful streets of Amsterdam. The fastest train is the Intercity not the Sprinter.

Ok I am not a social butterfly and I definitely consider myself an introvert, but I absolutely love solo travel because it pushes me outside of my comfort zone. It is so liberating! Also, thanks for the vlog. I have a 4 hour layover in Amsterdam this summer and I am debating on whether I should venture into the city center or if I should take advantage of my lounge access. Decisions decisions haha
@jaymeetsworld Жыл бұрын
Thanks for tuning in! I loved solo travel also. With a 4 hour layover I would definitely head out the airport. That gives in my opinion 2 hours in city centre to at least walk around and sightsee

We have a 5 hour layover but we are coming from the U.S. How long did it take you to get from the plane landing through customs to get out the terminal? Also, how much time did you budget to leave Amsterdam Central and make your connecting flight? Were you able to leave your checked bags? So many questions but I appreciate you taking the time to make this video.

How long does it take from plane to Amsterdam Central and back again? I'm doing a stopover in Schipol for 3 hour and 55 minutes and I'm going with my 73 year old mum. We are hoping just to get to Amsterdam Central and visit the public library next to the central train station and go back again. But I'm a bit worried about keeping time. I'm thinking at least an hour travel to and from the airport, and then maybe another hour through customs... etc. Was it a stressful race against time?
