Best train station I've been to yet, so many facilities and shops. I don't even know why I am reviewing this but trip advisor got me hyped.

Was a nice clean station and very busy! Could do with a few more signs as we ended up running up and down a few platforms to find the right train but all worked out & the train was spot on time.

Like so much of the architecture in Amsterdam, Centraal is stunning. So intricate and arresting. At the same time it is a highly functional station with a range of platforms and services. We took the train from Centraal to Haarlem to see the Corrie ten...More

Busy place full of people Common and going but take the time to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy his very beautiful building. A pianist was entertaining a large crowd and he was amazing.

Like Amsterdam, the Central Station has one foot in History and another one in the future. It's a mixed building spanning many centuries that is, in a way, a synthesis of the Dutch spirit

Have your camera ready and be prepared to pick your jaw up.. this place is so beautiful. I loved Amsterdam and its people as well as its rich history.

Everywhere is the Centraal Station. A busy place at all times. Historical centre around makes its location perfect. I found myself there each day and workers were so helpful. You just don't feel like a visitor when in Amsterdam. That's just it.

Relatively easy station to get around. Good shops for busy visitors at the bottom floor. Good location.

Centrum
Amsterdam’s buzzing hub, with its sprawling network of
tram rails and a seemingly constant flow of tourists
and commuters, yields convenient access to some of the
best sightseeing, shopping, and street life in Europe.
Closest at hand are the Royal Palace, the quaint shops
of Haalremmerdijk, the pedestrianized zones
Kalverstraat and Dam Square with popular neighborhoods
such as the Red Light District, and the Canal Ring

Clearly it depends on where you start and finish but you do NOT have to travel into/out of centraal station i.e. If you're traveling to the outskirts of central Amsterdam, there's no need for going there. That said, when it... More
