Netherlands Airports

The Netherlands is well known for its cheese making, its traditional wooden shoes called clogs, its large windmills and the vibrant colored tulips that blanket the countryside. On a whole the country is quite flat and densely populated. It is a popular tourist destination with much to keep traveler’s occupied.

There are many airports and other forms of transport within the country that allow for easy travel and touring. The main airport in the Netherlands is the Schiphol airport, which is both a cargo and passenger airport. The Schiphol International Airport can be found southwest of Amsterdam and is the lowest major commercial airport above sea level in the world. Passengers can make their way out of the airport to their next destination using the Dutch Railways train station that can be found below the passenger terminal complex of the airport.

If you have a couple of hours to spend at the Schiphol Airport then you can browse around all the different stalls they have available to you. The Schiphol Plaza or shopping area is before customs and so really anyone can enjoy this alternative shopping mall. In fact you can even find an average size supermarket that is open twenty-four hours a day for your convenience. Another added pleasure of this airport is the fact that it provides such an array of disability-friendly facilities, which includes toilets, telephones and wheelchair access all specially adapted for those in need of the facilities.

Eindhoven Airport is another international airport, seven km from the main city, that you may fly into depending on where you are heading in the Netherlands. From here you will also find that many destinations and primary airports are accessible to the visiting passengers. Another convenience provided to the much-valued passenger is car hire from the airport. There is also a bus that travels to and from the airport to the central station and a taxi rank in front of the airport terminal.

Other airports in the Netherlands are Rotterdam Airport, Groningen Airport Eelde, Maastricht Aachen Airport and Texel International Airport.
