There are clearly no aircraft deficit today. Every day, dozens of aircraft are sent to Amsterdam, with a difference, sometimes, in 20 minutes. Prices for one end ticket start from 3,500 rubles from Moscow. To search for airfers I use search engines, i.e., systems that find all possible flight options from all agencies and airlines. For example, I like Skyscanner.ru and Aviasales.ru. The latter has a very convenient schedule of low prices: the schedule indicates the dates of departure and arrival, which exposed the lowest prices.
At the moment, the cost of tickets with transfers are rapidly cheaper than without transfers (there are no transfers for 30 thousand tickets!). However, with two or more transplants, the tickets also increase in price. So, the output is a trace with transfers. Of course, this is not the most convenient option, so choose flights with the minimum transplant expectation (at least 40 minutes to dock the flights) to painfully for a long time not to sit at the airport (once I sat 8 hours, terrible sensations). The direct flight lasts about 3.5 hours. From St. Petersburg, the flight shorter, just over 3 hours.
Nevertheless, it is better to fly from Moscow. From other cities there is an extraction, therefore, for example, from St. Petersburg, the departures of one and a half or two thousand rubles above, rather than from Moscow. Therefore, if you are cheaper to get to Moscow, it is better to do so for the sake of savings.
Airports in the capital, from which aircraft fly to Amsterdam - Domodedovo (DME), Vnukovo (VKO) and Sheremetyevo (SVO), and the receiving party, so to speak, - Airport in Amsterdam Schiphol (Schiphol, designation: AMS), the only one in the city, And, by the way, the 4th largest in Europe.Most often in the amster of the capital fly from Vnukovo.
The following airlines fly from Moscow to Amsterdam: Transaero, Brussels Airlines, Finnair, Air Malta, Jat Airways, Klm, Lot Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Scandinavian Airlines, Estonian Air, Aeroflot, Siberia, Ukraine Intl Airlines, Swiss, CSA Czech Airlines, Air France, AirBaltic, British Airways, Belavia. Direct flights are carried out mainly Aeroflot and KLM (Dutch airline, Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij, Royal Aviation Company).
The remaining companies carry out flights with transfers. If you have any preferences by company, you can buy tickets directly from airlines, but it seems to me much easier to use the search engines. In search engines, companies that are engaged in selling tickets are displayed. They are also quite a lot. Companies that more often sell cheap tickets - Senturia, OneTwotrip, Tripsta, Trip.ru, Davs, AirTickets. Personally, I usually buy tickets to Senturia, in principle, no problems have never arisen, even with the exchange of tickets. Buy tickets via the Internet is simple and safe: you pay a credit card, you come confirmation of the ticket to the mail -I Voila!
Of course, you can travel by bus or private car. Although I see in this sense, only if you travel to other cities on the way to other cities, i.e. Make a sort of eurotour. In general, from Moscow to Amsterdam about 2,500 kilometers, and, if you go, without stopping, it will take only 24 hours. If the car is completely filled with passengers, which will be thrown on gasoline, it will be released much more economical than the air ticket: Recently, my friends went to Amsterdam with a walk to other cities in Fitter, and threw out about 4 thousand rubles. That was enough for the road back.
You can go by bus. It can be like a ready-made bus tour of Europe with our prices and programs, and there may be only a bus. You can order such tickets in travel agencies or on the Internet, for example, through Ecolines.net.
Through the Internet, it turns out a little cheaper, for example, a bus ticket to both ends to Amtera costs about 8,500, children under 12 years old about 4300., people aged 19-26 years - about 7,800 rubles, as much to disabled people and retirees.
You can go to Amsterdam by train. The road to the city will take at best 1 day 8 hours, at worst - for 3-10 hours longer, depending on the path. Trains go with a transplant usually through Hannover, Berlin, Prague and Frankfurt am Main (through some kind of one city). Although this option is not cheap: Tickets begin from 7 thousand rubles in one direction. You can buy tickets on Tutu.ru website (well, or other sites) or at the station (for example, at the box office of the Kiev Station in Moscow). Of course, a Schengen visa is required to travel on the train and bus.
Trains arrive in Amsterdam at the railway station, which is located in the heart of the city, 5 minutes from the main square of the ladies.
Amsterdam Airport is located 17.5 km from the city, i.e. 20 minutes drive from the center. From the airport to the center you can get on the suburban train, it will take about minutes. The cost of the ticket for the train is € 3.80 and € 6.50 for the second and first class of cars, respectively. From the airport, by the way, you can immediately go to Berlin on trains that go there 6 times a day. You can catch a taxi near the airport, though it will fly into a penny - at least 50 euros, although you can separate the way with other people who arrived in the capital to save. And from the station, where the train arrives from the airport, it will be necessary to transfer to the tram, a bus or subway, the stops are located right at the exit from the station.
You can immediately buy OV-chipkaart, that is, travel, which allows you to enjoy any public transport.
There is such a map in different ways, from 1 hour to 1 week. You can buy such a travel in the "Tickets & Info" kiosks, at the box office and ticketing devices at stations, the bus driver (though it will be slightly expensive) or on the Internet. A ticket for 1 hour costs 2.70 euros, 24 hours -7.50 euros, 48 hours - 12 euros, 96 hours - 20.50, 168 hours- 31 euros Plus use bike to any map - 1.60 euros. Ride on such cards, undoubtedly much more economical. By the way, the subway is not too popular in Amster, everyone is moving around by land transport.
In the metro city there are 4 branches: green, orange, red and yellow.
Metro Residents enjoy mainly to get to remote areas and suburbs. In general, all in Amsterdam love bikes.
Around the city there is cycling paths, special bicycle parking, rental offices (10-15 euros per day plus insurance couple euro). Environmentally friendly and sports!
