Amsterdam, a popular layover destination

by Dabs - last update: Jul 14, 2008

Both of my visits to Amsterdam have been on long layovers flying from another European city back home to the US. My choices for flying this time was either through London Heathrow or Amsterdam Schiphol, Amsterdam's airport is large but it's still a lot easier to transfer through than Heathrow and the transportation option to the city much easier and quicker.

We had an intentional 7 hour layover in Amsterdam, once we got there and saw the gloomy gray skies, I wished I had opted for a few extra hours in bed!!! But the rain held off and we enjoyed a canal cruise and a walk through the central area of Amsterdam before hopping back on the train and heading back for the long journey home.

 Great tips from a short visit! Besides a whale or ship, NEMO mirrors the entrance of the IJ-tunnel it is built next to! Cheers, Dennis

 Hi Kristi, like your page about AMsterdam. That heat David is wearing was probably a gear for the upcoming European or World championship soccer

 Boy, Kristi, you and David did/saw a good deal in the short time there. I learned much from you keen insights. Enjoyed your train adventure, the canal tour, the cultural tidbits, the Hooks on the buildings, & yummy cookies.
