Ine Posted June 29, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 29, 2017 No hotels (apart from airporthotels to/from the airport) offer shuttles. Not to/from the airport or to/from the cruise terminal. The one shuttle to/from hotels against a fee only allow 1 suitcase per person. https://www.schipholhotelshuttle.nl/ If travelling with 2 or more persons a cab might be almost the same price. Check e.g. these sites: https://www.tcataxi.nl/en/home.html http://www.schipholtaxi.nl/en/ https://www.schiphol.nl/en/page/by-taxi-to-and-from-schiphol/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Marty Yes from the airport there are frequent trains to Amsterdam Centraal Station. Also busnr. 197 will bring to you Leidseplein and Museumplein. All depending where in the city you want ot be. Ikea however isnot in the city, but in the southeastern part of the city. To get there you need a train to Amsterdam Bijlmer Arena (different trains then to Centraal Station!), from there it will be a walk for another 10/15 minutes. If I understand right what you need, probably a store like HEMA - city center in Nieuwedijk, not to far from Centraal Station and the Royal Palace on Dam might have it. Check google maps for details.

FreestyleNovice Posted June 30, 2017 #9 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Something similiar to this? Search for Hema, Blokker or Action stores. I would skip IKEA; too far away, have to use metro through and in a less than pleasant area of Amsterdam and all for a piece of plastic, too time consuming whilst an Action or Blokker sells the one pictured above (sort or less). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreestyleNovice Posted June 30, 2017 #10 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Is that a retail store? It's a palace' date=' belongs to our royal family.
