Amsterdam Central Station is the second busiest railway station of the Netherlands. The Netherlands has an extensive public transportation network, so you can reach any place in the Netherlands from here. This building is usually the first thing tourists see when they arrive in Amsterdam from Schiphol airport. This station was build in 1889. An amazing feature is that it’s located in the heart of Amsterdam on an artificial Island on the IJ river. This station also has a royal waiting room, build just in case the Dutch King wants to take the train.
