How to get here


View Larger Map

From Schiphol Airport.
After leaving the security zone, you will come into the big entrance hall of Schiphol Airport. Escalators go to the railway station Schiphol which is underneath the entrance hall. You buy tickets at the yellow ticket machines to Amsterdam Centraal, current price: € 3.80. Find the next train to Amsterdam Centraal (trains leave roughly every ten minutes during the day and early evening) and after that follow the instructions in the section From Amsterdam Central Station. The trip to Central Station takes 20 minutes.

You can also take a taxi (the taxi stand is right outside of the entrance hall) for about € 40. If you are staying at a central location in Amsterdam, the taxi will not be much faster than the train, but might save the hassle of walking with luggage in the city.

From Amsterdam Central Station.
Leave the station towards the city centre, find the tram stops and board tram number 9 (tram number 9 runs from the tram stop to the left of the exit of central station). Take tram 9 to Plantage Badlaan (one stop after the Zoo) and get off. Right to the left of the tram stop, there is a little street called Plantage Lepellaan. Follow it to the end and you stand in front of the Euclides building. The tram ride costs € 1.60 and it is a one-zone ride (in case the tram conductor asks "how many zones?"). You pay on the tram when you enter. The tram ride from Central Station takes about 20 minutes, and tram number 9 runs every 10 minutes during the day.

Alternatively, you can print the google map and walk. With a decent walking pace, you should be able to get to Euclides within 20 minutes. However, Amsterdam streets can be a bit confusing, and consider the possibility that you might get lost.
