Plenty of people from all over the world. Tourists and locals are blending in an outstanding amalgam. The city is beautiful and a role model for its friendliness for pedestrians and bicycle owners. The architecture is spectacular and amazing. Being there after a motorcycle trip through Europe was an astonishing experience.. looking forward to revisit the place.

One of the most beautiful and busiest city of Netherlands. There is good transportation facilities all over the city. You can reach every corner with public transportation. The central station is packed with restaurant and eateries clubs, bar and shopping centre. Also several boat cruise are available for boat tour of the city in good prices. Several famous museum are also located in the city to explore history art and culture. Most of the people understand and speak English which is most important thing for international travelers. Overall Amsterdam is the one of the top destination everyone should visit.

The Amsterdam Centraal station is amazing. I love the location. There are also a ton of stores/restaurants here and the views from here are amazing. We loved the boat ride and enjoyed seeing a very different view of the station from the water front. A really nice place to visit, if you are looking to explore this amazing city.

This is the central station of Amsterdam. It is the biggest, busiest, and also the most beautiful train station. You simply cannot miss this, because It is a central hub for getting around the Netherlands.

This Central station is one of convenient station in Netherlands. Most of the International and Domestic line train and local bus/train terminal. Helpful staff, nice and clean station, everything a train station should be. Typical busy Dutch railways station but normally with/without long queues (depend on the time). Clean tidy. There are plenty of shops and cafes here. The site is very convenient if you travel on public transport since you can take the bus or train to travel everywhere. The station is quite well organised. It gets quite busy during peak times but usually there are no queues (depend on the time) and easy to get around. It has two entrances, one in the direction of the city centre and the other towards the medical centre. So make sure you choose the correct one. Bus station is very nearby. Good amount of facilities and shops within the station. Good connectivity with the bigger cities in the area, both by train as well as by bus.

Huge impressive station located in partly old partly modern building. so many different shops and transportation possibilities. 12 minutes from the Schipol airport. If you come too early no worries as you can still shop here. Very close to major tourist attractions and hotels. However I gave it only 4 stars as there should be more toilets closer by.

As a first-time visitor to Amsterdam, Amsterdam Centraal Station was my grand entrance to this vibrant city. And let me tell you, it was an entrance worth writing about! Despite its size, the station was surprisingly easy to navigate. Clear signage and helpful staff made finding my onward connections a breeze. I even stumbled upon some hidden gems, like the platform 2 ceiling with its impressive archway design and the royal waiting room, accessible only by peeking through a glass door. Tips for fellow travelers: Download the NS app to easily plan your onward connections. Grab a stroopwafel from Bakkerij Lanskroon – you won't regret it! Check out the platform 2 ceiling and peek at the royal waiting room for a touch of hidden history. Don't be afraid to ask the friendly staff for help – they're there to make your journey smooth.

Pretty nice central station in Amsterdam. The place was clean, escalators and elevators in a good condition, and on-time trains. It was pretty easy to locate your train that takes you to your destination via the screen. The exterior was beautiful and cool. Overall, definitely a great train station to stop at in Amsterdam!

I do not know if there is anything bad in Amsterdam. My family and I love the city, its architecture, the people, the culture and including this remarkable Central Train Station! Everything you need prior to your train boarding time is here. It is clean, at higher design is sleek and contemporary with informative signages all around to guide you within the premises. Truly one of the best central stations in Europe have been.

A place with a beatiful view! When you arrive at the Central Station there are 2 exits. Anyone you take you wont regret. On one side you get out to this beatiful view of the riverside. There you can take a boat ride to the other side and visit rhe Filmmuseum or the Adam Lookout. And if you choose the other side, you get out in the center of the city where the life in Amsterdam begins. From Museums to boat rides to shopping centers, restaurants etc. Everything is closeby. But watch out for the bike riders, there are many of them.

Beautiful , grand old station , CENTRAALY located ,right in the middle of Amsterdam. Very, very , very Well used train station 🚉 right in the middle of the tourist hubs close to everything.

I find it pretty convenient here, in term of the facilities, signs to follow and train schedules, getting a train from here to travel to the countryside is good. And it seems to be on time, and the building itself is absolutely beautiful looking from outside. After you get off you can catch a tram into the city centre or just walking around, cuz many attractions nearby the station.

Amsterdam Centraal is one of the best train stations I've been to because it's rich in history plus it's an international train station, I get the Eurostar to come here and one of the things I like is that there is a shopping mall right inside here meaning you can get literally anything you need all in the one building, there is plenty of security here and is often seen outside the building meaning if you need any support they are there. There is also a tram station right outside the building too.

🚆The chaos of this beautiful station can be overwhelming. It certainly was for me. It left an internal anxiety that will probably pass. I just need time and I think I will be ready to give it another go. I instinctively navigated through the facility, desperately trying to make some sense out of this hostile environment... I eventually found a locker service (7.50 euro for a medium one) where I stashed all my belongings, before continuing to serve my role in friend's stag du. ☕ There are some limited food and beverage options but I'd certainly recommend pushing into the town to find a cosy place away from the chaos. 🦊 Amsterdam seems to be a pretty welcoming city. Might be interesting to visit it with different company to see if it can be for example a destination for a romantic weekend. Perhaps next time?

The staff was so friendly with me They helped me to get to my train The city was very beautiful

Amsterdam Center is such a historic and architectural train station. When passing by the station around sunset, be sure to make a little troll around and enjoy the golden light shining through the hall. Beautiful sightings!

Amsterdam Centraal Station is the largest railway station in Amsterdam, North Holland, the Netherlands. A major international railway hub, it is used by 192,000 passengers a day, making it the second busiest railway station in the country after Utrecht Centraal and the most visited Rijksmonument of the Netherlands. National and international railway services at Amsterdam Centraal are provided by NS, the principal rail operator in the Netherlands. Amsterdam Centraal is the northern terminus of Amsterdam Metro routes 51, 53, 54, and stop for 52 operated by municipal public transport operator GVB. It is also served by a number of GVB tram and ferry routes as well as local and regional bus routes operated by GVB, Connexxion and EBS. Amsterdam Centraal was designed by Dutch architect Pierre Cuypers and opened in 1889. It features a Gothic, Renaissance Revival station building and a cast iron platform roof spanning approximately 40 metres. Since 1997, the station building, underground passages, metro station, and the surrounding area have been undergoing major reconstruction and renovation works to accommodate the North-South Line metro route, which was opened on 22 July 2018. Amsterdam Centraal has the second longest railway platform in the Netherlands with a length of 695 metres. From 2017 there will be further reconstruction works at the station. A number of platforms will be widened making use of the tracks which do not currently have platforms. This means that alterations will be made in the tunnels under the platforms again. Furthermore, the eastern tunnel will be made wider, based on the example of the middle tunnel. The old railway bridges to the east of the station will also be replaced. Amsterdam Centraal has 15 tracks, 11 of which are alongside a platform: four island platforms with tracks along the full length on both sides (tracks 4/5, 7/8, 10/11, 13/14); one side platform with one track along the full length (track 15); and one bay platform with two tracks (tracks 1/2). Platforms 2-15 have an A-side (to the west) and a B-side (to the east). This means that there are 21 places where a train can be positioned for passenger access, with scissors crossings in the middle enabling trains to pass each other. Track 1 terminates short of the western end of the station building, which fronts track 2. Tracks 3, 6, 9, and 12 have no platform. Amsterdam Centraal metro station (called Centraal Station on the Amsterdam Metro system) opened in 1980. It is the terminus station of three routes: Route 51 (Amsterdam Centraal - Isolatorweg), Route 53 (Amsterdam Centraal - Gaasperplas), and Route 54 (Amsterdam Centraal - Gein). In July 2018, the new Route 52 (Noord Station - Zuid Station) opened. Tram services at Amsterdam Centraal are provided from two tram stations on Stationsplein (Station Square), situated in front of the station's main entrance. Tram routes 2, 12, 13 and 17 call on the west side (Westzijde, Platform B) of the square, the other routes call on the east side (Oostzijde, Platform-A). As of July 2018, GVB city bus routes 18, 21 and 22 and 48 depart from the new bus platform G on the lake side of the station (IJzijde or 'IJ side'). Free of charge ferry services from Amsterdam Centraal to the borough of Amsterdam North across the IJ lake depart from the quay on the northern side of the station at the De Ruijterkade. In my experience it is a pleasant and efficient railway station with good connecting facilities to metro / tram / bus / ferry with shops and restaurant / fast food facilities.

Getting around Amsterdam and the whole country you will need to use the public transportation system which is very good. Amsterdam Centraal Station is the main station for getting around the city and traveling in any direction.

Amsterdam Centraal station is a huge station that connects Amsterdam to another city and also other European cities. All the officers are very helpful and informative. They have quite complete facilities including working stations, WC paid, public telephone, information ticketing, convenient store, vip lounges waiting room, etc

One of the coolest train stations I've ever seen. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but it's impressive, clean and safe. You won't even get on the platform without a ticket.

The structure is amazing, there are lots of shops and useful Things inside it as well, like souvenir shops, restaurants, bars, and even mini markets. One of the best stations in west Europe.

Warm cozy place for the city center Not very crowded for the metro city. Many shopping places inside the building, innovative underground parking for bikes Must visit the surrounding areas like dam during Christmas

They provide great overall services. There aren’t much of delays. The only thing I’d suggest is to add announcements in English for all transportation systems. Some very few do have them but for the most part they are in Dutch.

Amsterdam Centraal is a the first gateway/entry for most visitors into the city. The station is a large impressive building and yet it is easy to navigate. A quick and direct train ride from School airport gets you to the centre of the city. There are plenty of international train connections to Paris, Brussels, London and Frankfurt everyday. The lower ground floor of the station has many cafes and food options and a few shops. Most tourists would stay within walking distance of the station.

It is a very important place in Amsterdam because here you will access to the public transportation: domestic and international trains, metro stations, bus stations, etc. You can also find a public toilet ( it is always very crowded and not the cleanest, but it will get the job done ), an AH market, lots of shops and some fast food restaurants. You can also buy your public transportation tickets from here.

A magnificent building with easy convenient access to public transportation as well as the cruise port. Lots of cool stores inside and I really love how the structure of this place is designed and it’s perfect location next to all the tourist attractions. I dislike how poor the customer service is at the ticketing desk, selling us cancelled tickets and seemed not wanting to deal with us at all

The architecture is just mind bending. Who architects this kind of building? Really awesome.

A very user friendly railway station which is located right in the center of the city. It is clean, tidy and easily navigated. The lockers are located near the entrance so that you can leave your luggage until your train departs and tou stroll throug the city

It was a memorable experience that we've been there. A Lots of foods, groceries nearby, souvenir items and lovely people. We got the chance to take photos together with doves. I enjoy the place hope to visit the next time.

It's a beautiful city with a vast amount of history, art, museums, Anne Frank house, watch diamonds being cut just inches away, restaurants and pubs etc.

The transformation of this station is remarkable from a messy, chaotic, dark station to a gleaming, modern and well organized station the capital deserves. Come and visit the shops and restaurants at the waterfront ('Ij') side .... You won't be disappointed

Very great experience to visit this unique country ever... historic buildings, canals, museums, art and culture, brigdes, canals, food, drinks, famous busy streets... Of I amsterdam 📍
