Just walk outside of the terminal to the busy street to have you picked up. The drive itself might take about 20 minutes. Another option can be to take tram nr 26 to Centraal Station (Ieaving near Muziektheater) and change there to tram 2 to Museumplein.

The airport can be busy but by far not anymore with such big problems. Most problems were in the holiday period. Also you often can make reservations to pass security. That is where most waiting lines took places.

Amsterdam Airport Hotel near train station
Ine replied to Carol28's topic in British Isles/Western Europe
At the airport are the Hilton and Sheraton Hotel, more hotels close to the airport. The train stop is right under the airport, down from the arrival hall. . Many hotels offer a shuttle to/from the hotel to and from the airport. Apart from that there is another trainstation in Hoofddorp in case your hotel is there. Why not stay in Amsterdam and take an early cab the next morning? -
Restaurant recommendation for dinner in Puerto Villarta
Ine replied to red lobster's topic in Mexican Riviera
How about Casa Guadalajara,in the Fluvial area , just a short cab ride away. They are on FB and Instagram. As far as I know no other website. Apart from their mexican food, most nights Mariachis will play Mexican music. https://www.facebook.com/casagdlmx Bachas Restaurant in the Marina area (also a short cab ride away) also has great food -
Anybody has an advice for a company to do a transfer from the port of Bilbao (Getxo) ) to the airport. Maybe with a small detour in Bilbao? Since we will be with 4 adults, 3 suitcases and a folding walker a regular cab is not big enough. Thanks

Amsterdam - (proposed) closing cruise ship terminal
Ine replied to LouCoop's topic in British Isles/Western Europe
Yes indeed, but it might take some time. -
so does the hopon off boat. The regular canaltrips donot, they sail to and from a point.
-
Since Amsterdam has a lot of narrow streets the hopon off bus might not the best choice. Better take the hopon off boat.

Amsterdam - (proposed) closing cruise ship terminal
Ine replied to LouCoop's topic in British Isles/Western Europe
No changes at IJmuiden. Unfortunately you will need a shuttle by the cruiseline to get into or from Amsterdam, Again Amsterdam is not closing the port, the plan is to move the terminal from the center into the western art of town. -
No there a not, see my answer in your other posting.

The only shuttles to Amsterdam unfortunately will be the ones offered by your cruiseline. Public transport is possible but a bit complicated. As an example (by checkihttps://9292.nl/en ) https://9292.nl/en/journeyadvice You will need walk over a dike to get to the busstop. The bus will end at Amsterdam Sloterdijk station, walk to the trainstation and take a train to Amsterdam Centraal Station. Across from the station you will see some options for a canal cruise.

Puerto Vallarta Beach Day - Day Pass or Beach Club?
Ine replied to mdd423's topic in Mexican Riviera
Check restaurants like La Palapa or Eldorado. Both on Playa los Muertes beach. Close to the pier and walking distance from the Malecon. They offer beach club facilities, nice loungers, umbrella and a certain amount for food and drinks. -
Prices for 2024 will probably not known yet. Later this year you might try Hotel Ibis Centraal Station, budget but very decent and a good location. All public transportation available and walking distance from AF house. You are aware you need to make reservations online. Check the website for details. https://www.annefrank.org/en/museum/tickets/

Amsterdam - (proposed) closing cruise ship terminal
Ine replied to LouCoop's topic in British Isles/Western Europe
No nothing is mentioned (yet) about the river boats.Riverboats use different locations, o.a. east to Centraal Station, sometimes west of this or even the main cruise terminal. -
Choose a cruiseline that visits either Geiranger and or Flamm for the best sailings into and from a fjord.

Amsterdam - (proposed) closing cruise ship terminal
Ine replied to LouCoop's topic in British Isles/Western Europe
I just wanted to make clear Amsterdam is not closing the port, only moving it outside the center. Of course I realise passengers (and I also) will miss the nice sailing out and the fact they cannot walk then into the center after the terminal opens in a different location. It is and was a nice terminal in a great location. Indeed the plan in Amsterdam is to build not only a bridge from the north to the south for bicycles but also partly houses. Unfortunately many buildings along Northsea canal are industrial by tradition. As you probably know Rotterdam's heart was totaly bombed during WWII, so rebuilding could be done in a more modern way. Also one of the former mayors stimulated much of the new buildings, like those close to the cruise terminal in Rotterdam. -
Amsterdam - (proposed) closing cruise ship terminal
Ine replied to LouCoop's topic in British Isles/Western Europe
Once more Amsterdam will not be closed for cruise ships but wants to move the terminal more west of town. Of course the present terminal is in a great location, passengers can walk into town. Later they will need public transport, cabs or buses into town. Furthermore it is not just Amsterdam having problems with too many cruise ships, look at places like Venice, Monterey, Santa Barbara, Key West, many ports in Norway like a.o. Geiranger etc are also either reducing the number of (often very big) ships or even allow only small ships in the near future. -

Check Ibis Hotel Centraal Station. A budget hotel but very decent. -
Transportation Recommendation from Amsterdam Hotel to Airport?
Ine replied to baggal's topic in British Isles/Western Europe
Yes of course you can. But be sure to take one from the officlal cab stand, not the cowboys offering their rides in the terminal. -
There are frequent buses going to Stegastein. https://www.norwaysbest.com/globalassets/pdf/rutetider/rutetider-2023/bus-stegastein---prest-2023.pdf Since Flam is a small village I am not sure about tours from Flam. I know Tvinde waterfall is closer to Voss. However on Tripadvisor I found this: https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g616213-d1887766-r133688409-Tvindefossen-Voss_Municipality_Hordaland_Western_Norway.html

Trains between Amsterdam and Haarlem are very frequent. No reservation or advance buying of tickets needed. Nowadays just use your creditcard (each person its own) and tap to checkin and out at rhe oles near or at the platform. . Or just buy tickets at the machines at the station.

Amsterdam - (proposed) closing cruise ship terminal
Ine replied to LouCoop's topic in British Isles/Western Europe
No reason to panic yet, it will take some years before the terminal will be closed. The plan is to build a new terminal more west in town, close to the Sloterdijk area. No more walking in town from the terminal then, but bus or cab will be needed. To me it is a strange decision. -
Amsterdam - (proposed) closing cruise ship terminal
Ine replied to LouCoop's topic in British Isles/Western Europe
The plan seems to be to build a new terminal more west of town in the Sloterdijk area. That means people need transfer by bus or cab into town. So in my opinion hardly a good decision as at the moment people can walk into town. . A bridge for bikers might be built where the terminal is now, so people can bike from the northern part of town into the center. Also a strange decision since there are many ferries doing that crossing for bikers and people who walk. Donot expect the closure in the near future, it will takes some years.
