Ways to go to Amsterdam: From Schipol Airport you can take an intercity direct train Amsterdam Centraal which takes around 20 minutes and cost around 5 euros.   By Boat There’s a boat (Stena Line) which goes to Hoek van Holland Haven (a stop before Hoek van Holland Strand).    And you take a train for 1.5 hours to Amsterdam Central (with an interchange in Schiedan Centrum)   By Train Eurostar or Eurorail, which stops at Amsterdam Centraal   Tips (especially for US Folks):  It is faster to just buy a ticket via machine.    But your credit card needs to be a chip card and you need to know your PIN.   The Amsterdam Centraal Station Museum Plein This entire area has most of the museums from the Rijk Museum, which stores Rembrandt’s paintings to Van Gogh and Modern Arts Museum.     Going around?

There are a bunch of trains running from the Amsterdam Centraal to Rotterdaam Centraal station.  Takes around 1 hour. Map with Major spots to see Just the map As soon as I got off Rotterdam Centraal station, I went the tourist info office (in the station) to ask for a map and he suggested the route above to see most of the sights of Rotterdam.   Ideally, the route is around  3-4 hours  and you can add a bit more if you plan to eat in the Markthal (food market). Rotterdam apparently has been almost wiped out during the WWI and thus, is a relatively a new city and the Laurenskerk is probably one of the remaining remnants of the medieval Rotterdam.  This city is known for its architecture and apparently a nice harbor view from the Hotel New York. Shopping Area Lijnban and Beurstraverse This is the main shopping areas in Rotterdam.  They have the usual brands but you can find a big Hema Shop in Beurstraverse.  Lijnban is a huge promenade but the 'shops'
