Amsterdam Zuid (South) is a key public transit hub in the neighborhood of the same name, directly south 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. read more

I like this station over the Central one because it's cleaner and it's located in a business location. There are good food options right outside the station if you have some time on your hands. Best thing is it's less crowded. So you should have good seat options. We were here during the strike in Belgium, so our train to Antwerp was cancelled. We had to take a train down to Rotterdam and then catch the Antwerp one down there. A little hectic, but we finally made it. read more

Not a bad station: not a stunning, not decrepit A decent parade of shops below too. The interchange is a rat's nest of confusion downstairs (probably due to mainline & metro stations meeting & different ticketing charges etc). You have to leave one section and re-enter right next door to go from one network to the other. But, the station suffers from one major problem: the platforms are open air. In the winter you freeze to deal. The waiting boxes have no roof, no heating, limited protection On summer days? fine. Rain & cold? Cue up commuter misery read more

Great station involving the tram, metro and NS Rail. It's a well planned location and commercial area. The "World Trade Center" is there and many other very tall buildings. I would give this 5-stars but the station is not heated in the winter. But that's okay because in the summer it's fabulous. You can go directly to Utrecht and Schiphol Airport from here as well. Very convenient indeed. read more

Very convenient central transportation hub located in the Southern suburbs of Amsterdam. I had occasion to use it when was given a different route to get to work from google maps, due to running an errand (dropping of shoes for repairs). So had occasion to use this station to transfer from the Metro side to the Sprinter trains. All I can say was that it was most convenient- signs to platform and actual verbiage (aka Schiphol) was displayed most prominently and I was able to transfer with ease without having to use google maps. Near the platforms for the Airport sprinters (platform 3 & 4), they also had an electronic signage board, so just in case you wanted to double check, that option was available. From here to the airport was 7 mins direct, and so most convenient! Yelp 234/ 2018 Woot - this is also my 1400th Review! Who woulda thunk it? read more

Amsterdam Zuid is one of the main railway stations in Amsterdam with both intercity rail and metro services, the name comes from the traditional naming traditions of railway stations in the Netherlands, with "Zuid" meaning "South" as the station is in South Amsterdam. Zuid is the 9th most used railway station in The Netherlands, and the third in Amsterdam of course after Amsterdam Centraal and Sloterdijk. The service I used from Zuid was the line which started at Schipol Airport and going to Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA, which was the next stop and these locations are frequently served by services to the station. One of the train platforms running alongside some sort of road/motorway was also interesting and unusual for me having not witnessed this before back home in the UK. A few basic things are located at the station including a Starbucks - which overall is a satisfactory, average station - I did find these inside the station slightly hard to find from making a connection from one train to another. The platforms being outside and often not covered means it could be difficult and quite nightmarish in the rain and the winters, luckily as I visited during the summer the weather was fine. Average station with nothing too impressive to stand out, and flaws mentioned in the review so I feel a two-star rating is fair here for Amsterdam Zuid Station. read more

Good public transport options here, tram, train, etc. Perfect if needing to get to RAI Convention Center as it is one train stop from here (and excellent Crowne Plaza Hotel is nearby!). Lots of shops (grocery/snacks..even clothing/gifts!) and food options (both higher end Italian Bistro/Bar and low end fast food options). read more

I use this station about twice a day. I love the fact it is quite small (compared to Centraal station and eg Clapham Junction!) It has 4 platforms and a metro station. It also is close to tram #5 and bus connections Fantastic bike parking you cycle down into. There is also an OV fiets pop-up store now. There is an Etos, brood, kiosk, Starbucks, sissy boy clothing store, an Albert heijn, Julia's pasta the metro entrance side. There is also a wagamamas, Simon Meyer and a number of other shops, eateries and bars at the approach to this station and as pat of the World trade centre. The expat centre is also in the WTC so it may be one of the first places you go to if you move to the Netherlands :) read more

For what it lacks in grandness, it's an okay station with decent signage and simple to navigate. It has automated kiosk to buy a pass which we used and had no need of help from a station staff. So all is automated. The tracks are not high above anything and everything is labelled. I didn't pay too much attention to all the details and only passed through this station once. I didn't see any graffiti for what I can tell as a smaller station. What I like are all the restaurant in the plein/plain itself including the De Broodzaak in the station which serves yummy sandwiches and the self-serve machine that with a coin or two, squeezed me up a nice glass of fresh orange juice. It's a train station but what it serves is a clean atmosphere, simple to use and convenience. Nothing more but simple and availability. read more

What's a Zuid? Not sure, but Google knows! :) According to Google, it means "South" in English. That's awesome, I suppose! My travels through Amsterdam barrels through to the Zuid train station in central Amsterdam aptly called Amsterdam Zuid. I came in and out of this train station from taking the Sprinter train from Hoofddorp for 3 consecutive days. It was one of the closest train stations to the Olympic Stadium, where the annual Amsterdam marathon was to start and finish. The Amsterdam Zuid train station ideally sits in an ideal spot for me, since it's the go between central Amsterdam and all parts in between Amsterdam Centraal Station and Hoofddorp, where I was staying. This train station is somewhat larger than the Hoofddorp train station, as it services more trains than that of its other regional brothers and sisters in the neighboring towns. The experience here at the Amsterdam Zuid train station was touch and go. More go than anything. It was a way to get into Amsterdam without having to walk a whole bit from Amsterdam centraal station. The Amsterdam Zuid train station is location at the Zuidplein 10, in the Zuid district of Amsterdam. The World Trade Center and the Crown Center hotel is nearby. Many people park their bicycles nearby, which is a great alternative commute than driving. Trains are economically friendly as well as environmentally sensitive too. I could go on and on, but if you want to save some green, take the train sometime and find out how smooth it can be! How nice that I found a Starbucks at the main entrance of the Zuid train station. There's a couple of stores wedged inside of the Zuid train station complex to where food is found. Best bet would be to just buy food elsewhere and take it with you on the train. You'll be better off. For me, the Amsterdam Zuid train station was nice. The scenery while waiting for the train was picturesque and there are benches on the platform to where you can sit after walking all day, sightseeing or otherwise. Depending on the time of year and time of day, it can get cold or windy, so best have a jacket when you need to. Most of the train departures are on time, but there are times where they aren't, so plan accordingly and have fun on the train! The train station here at the Amsterdam Zuid seems to be relatively safe during the daylight hours, and voided of vagrants and other questionable people who hang out in dark shady places. Clean as it can be, but you never know with train stations nowadays. It's your source of transportation, so do it cheaply and be nice to Mother Nature while doing so. My experience here was good and definitely will be doing the public transit system again, if my travels do come to Amsterdam again! Support local! B read more
