Amsterdam Central Station

The Amsterdam central station is a large railway station in the city of Amsterdam, Netherlands.

It was the largest railway station in the country until recently when it was surpassed by Utrecht Central station. Amsterdam CS serves as a major interchange between the railways of the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and France. The station was opened in 1889 and has been rebuilt several times since.

The current station building was designed by Nederlands architect Ben van Berkel and completed in 1998. The building features a number of innovative architectural features, including a curved glass roof, which allows natural light to flood into the station concourse. The station is also home to a number of shops and restaurants, as well as a large train shed which covers eight tracks.

Lelystad Airport

Fly with us over historic defence bastions such as Naarden Vesting, Muiderslot and Pampus. Enjoy wonderful views of the canal network and the historic city centre of Amsterdam. Combined with Amsterdam Central station, where old meets new, the IJ river with its superb modern architecture and Amsterdam Noord which is currently undergoing development. We then fly on to the rugged countryside of the Oostvaardersplassen lakes and Lelystad, where we also circle above the Batavia VOC ship, a fantastic reconstruction of this piece of iconic Dutch history. The airspace above the city of Amsterdam is controlled by Schiphol Air Traffic Control. The result may be that air traffic control adjusts our route and that Amsterdam is at a greater distance than initially expected.
