Amsterdam | During 3.5 hour Layover | Quick Things To Do On the Go

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

I’m going to have a 5hr layover too… thanks for the info

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

Loved Amsterdam, you definitely played it close with the time. The Anne Frank house was one of the highlights for me as well.

Perfect Video!!! I'm headed to South Africa in March with a 4 hour layover in Amsterdam. This is perfect. I'll probably do the exact same thing you did: Breakfast, Anne Frank's House, & back to airport. Thank you King. Great insight and motivation.

Awesome video, I got 8 hours there, and I’m probably gonna do exactly what you did lol, thanks !

i also have a 3.5 hour layover next month, were there long lines at the security/passport check coming back to the airport?

Big love to you my brother I will do the same tomorrow I have a layover over 10 hours there

[IndianBeauty]

We read Anne Frank in school. Pretty cool yo see this brother exploring Amsterdam. I have a 21 hour layover in Amsterdam this Friday I was just wondering if I need a visa to leave the airport.

I have a 10 hour layover thanks for video, we are going to do the same.

Thank you for sharing. Did you have to pick-up your luggage before leaving the airport? It is a hassle when one has to re-check in luggage to take a connection flight.

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?

Great video. I was just curious if you had to show a brand new negative covid test to re-enter the airport?

[kjgarvin]

I'm far from being a social butterfly, but i never have any issues traveling alone

How long before your flight did you start heading back to the airport? I have a 3h45 layover in Amsterdam on Sunday and I’m
debating risking it or not!!
