Amsterdam - Schipol airport & train question
Hi all! We are in the final planning stages of our trip and I'm trying to figure out how many days of travel we'll need on the EuRail to get around.
The B&B owner in Amsterdam told me that I could take the train from the airport to South/WTC stop and then take a cab from there. I sent her an email to make sure but does anyone know if this is the EuRail or some other train service?
I guess if it's not the EuRail, I'll need to pay them in Euro when we board.
Thanks for any advice!!

You would use a full day on the eurail for this? I'm not sure if it is worth it fir that. I think tickets are like €15. Don't buy them on the train, you'll get fined and have to pay more.

Re: Amsterdam - Schipol airport & train question
It's been a while since I have been there, but it was VERY easy to get from Shiphol to to downtown. We took the train to central station and walked to our hotel, but you would take the line that runs to WTC - I can't see it being more than $5-10US (You can hit an ATM at the airport to get euros and I'm sure there is a booth or at least a ticket machine to use)
from frommers:
Getting into Town from the Airport -- Netherlands Railways (NS) (tel. 0900/9292; www.ns.nl) trains for Amsterdam Centraal Station depart from Schiphol Station, downstairs from Schiphol Plaza, and stop at De Lelylaan and De Vlugtlaan stations in western Amsterdam along the way. Frequency ranges from six trains an hour at peak times to one an hour at night. The one-way fare is 3.80€ ($6.10); the trip takes about 20 minutes.
An alternative rail route serves both Amsterdam Zuid/WTC (World Trade Center) station and RAI station (near the RAI Convention Center). Be sure to check which route goes closest to your hotel (including any tram or bus interchange). If you're staying at a hotel near Leidseplein, Rembrandtplein, in the Museum Quarter, or in Amsterdam South, this route may be better for you than Centraal Station. The fare to RAI is 3.80€ ($6.10) one-way; the trip takes about 15 minutes. From Amsterdam Zuid/WTC, take tram no. 5 for Leidseplein and the Museum Quarter; from RAI, take tram no. 4 for Rembrandtplein.
