The toilets are paid and not electronic. They tend to take your euros and the door still doesn't open, so be careful. There are some historic photos and murals on the walls. It's worth a trip from Amsterdam if visiting (All of Zandvoort that is). The train station is one reason I love Amsterdam so much, an easy 30 minute ride out to the ocean! From city to sand in 30 minutes for 3-5 euros. Love it. It gets REALLY REALLY crowded on hot days so be prepared. Not sure how they will handle it post-Covid. Trains are reduced capacity and I don't want to sit in a crowded, hot train with no ventilation with a bunch of strangers. Masks are required of course. I have never really seen any attendants working upstairs, inside, but that doesn't mean they aren't there. I usually don't walk through the main building, but take the stairs on the left. They have an OV Fiets (bike rental) on site. It's that little glass house and you need your OV card to get into the house and then work the kiosk. You will need to know some Dutch to work these kiosks. It's the only game in town in Zandvoort as far as the trains are concerned so either use it or take a bike or car back to Amsterdam or Haarlem.

The building itself is a nice old train station building that I think is disappointingly under used.

Only 1 mile from the massive Amsterdam-Zuid station, it's amazing there are so many connections here.

There can be a LOT of kids here after school, so be prepared.

This station is also very wheelchair accessible, as there is a lift to the platforms as well as escalators going up too.

This station serves all the through intercity train services that pass through den Haag, as opposed to Den Haag Centraal which while closer to the center of the city is a terminus station. This station doesn't have quite as many options for shops and restaurants as Den Haag Centraal but all the old regulars are here so you can pick up coffee or a sandwich before your train journey. Usually I'm just passing through this station on my way to Rotterdam, as it runs on the main Amsterdam-Rotterdam intercity route. You can also catch the international intercity to Brussels here.

It is convenient to their home (not a far walk). If you visit Leiden, it is close to the medical center and university. Tons of trains arrive and leave here, so we never had to wait for very long for the train we needed. Dutch trains are very much on time, unlike Germany! If you need a snack or drink, there's a small Albert Heijn and a Backwerk on the lower level, as well as kiosks on the platforms where the trains are. Toilets in the train station do cost so have some euros for that.

Amsterdam Zuid (South) is a key public transit hub in the neighborhood of the same name, directly…read moresouth of the Museumwartier (Museum Quarter) district and south of city center Amsterdam. Overall clean and easy to navigate. The surrounding streets are mostly residential though heading southwards there are more office and commercial buildings. As a busy commuter station mornings and evenings you'll hit rush hour conditions, expect densely packed platforms and train cars on both local commuter trains and the M52 metro line. There are separate entry points for each type of transportation so you need to scan in and out of the respective areas, via chipped credit/debit card or smartphone payment method or QR code. If you pay by card or phone they will charge you by distance depending on where you scan in and out, same for buses and trams. Single/multi-ride ticket machines are also available in the station. Some parts of the platforms are exposed to the outside elements so keep that in mind if it's rainy/snowy. Bus and tram stops are located a short 2-5 minute walk depending on the line you're trying to catch. There's public bike parking underground accessible via a couple entrances with ramped escalators (as compared to normal stair escalators) to accommodate bike traffic. To reach the city center, by metro or tram it's about 15-25 minutes depending where you're heading, by train about 10 minutes to Amsterdam Centraal. To Schipol Airport it's a 10 min train ride.

I guess because it sits at the junction of a number of lines, and a lot of trains pass through here to all parts of the Netherlands, particulary since Amsterdam is the next major station.

I frequently use this station (listed on Yelp as RAI, though it's also the stop for the Amsterdam…read moreZuid area) when I'm heading to Schiphol Airport or off to visit my mother-in-law. If you are looking to save money, this is the ultimate Amsterdam hack. Taking the train from here straight to the airport is a breeze and costs only a few Euros--compare that to the €30-€40 you'd spend on a taxi or Uber! The trains are frequent, and the journey to the terminal is incredibly fast. Business Traveler Perfect: It's located right next to the RAI Convention Center, making it the ideal hub if you're in town for a conference. Easy Connections: Whether you're coming from the Zuid business district or the neighborhood nearby, it's much more relaxed than fighting the crowds at Centraal Station. Convenience: The station is clean, well-marked, and the platforms are easy to navigate even with luggage. Whether you're a local or just visiting for a trade show, do yourself (and your wallet) a favor and take the train from here!

Not much to review except to tell you that:…read more A) It stops at Ajax Arena, B) Starbucks location at the station sucks and it is tucked discretely on left corner of the station, C) And as usual, there is a nice, small and clean grocery store at this station with decent selections of sandwiches and daily essentials, D) The fast food option is "Burger King" :( E) Three ticket vending machines to buy your train/bus tickets: Two machines inside of the station and one outside and none of those ticket vending machines at station worked with my Visa or MasterCard. However I was able to purchase the train ticket with cash and my ATM. I did not have this issue with the vending machine at the Amsterdam central station. F) Expect a long lines to purchase ticket on weekend or when game is going on at Ajax ArenA. It took me five minutes to buy tickets on weekdays and 18 minutes on Sunday. Once you step outside of the station, you have few decent choices of eatery which are more than decent.

For Railway Stations, this station is pretty new opening in the early 1970's, compared to most stations in the UK this is probably around 100 years younger, if not more. The ArenA name of the station comes from the Amsterdam ArenA stadium which it is located near, with the station being in ArenA Boulevard. The signing as you go out of the station is pretty confusing and unhelpful especially for a first time visitor, which could effect away fans visiting the stadium (although I presume this station is heavily staffed on a matchday for the national team or Ajax) The station in terms of facilities is pretty basic, there is a Starbucks tucked into the corner of the station, which also isn't well sign-posted and a little hard to find, as with most Starbucks in Amsterdam especially those inside public transport areas (Train stations, airports) it is pretty expensive. Trains run from here to the likes of Zuid, Schipol Airport and Ulretch, and there's the GVB metro to go alongside the Sprinter and Intercity line trains. Basic train station in a good location, with the added benefit of having a Starbucks (albeit it is a poor, expensive branch hidden in the station), a two-star rating mainly for location in proxmity to the Amsterdam ArenA is warranted here.
