Question:
I am off the Amsterdam for a few days next week, and am flying into SchipholAirport. My hotel is the the very centre of the city - can any one tell methe best way to get from the airport to my hotel? I am backpacking, so wouldprefer not to take a taxi (expensive!)

Answer: There's an excellent, fast train service every 15 or so minutes fromAmsterdam Schiphol Airport to Amsterdam Centraal Station, which is slap bangin the middle of town and from where you can walk, cycle or catch a bus ortram to pretty much anywhere.
