How
to get there and parking
Coming
from Schiphol Airport with Public Transportation
From Schiphol Airport take the train to Train
station Amsterdam Lelylaan* and then take bus 62 to stop Hoofddorpplein.
The train ride takes about 7 minutes. The bus ride takes about 10 minutes.
Exit the bus, turn right in the direction the bus came from. Then take
the first street at your right hand side. This is the RIETWIJKERSTRAAT.
Ring at number 51.
*
At railway station Amsterdam Lelylaan: go down from the platform via the
stairs or the elevator. Downstairs turn left, exit the building, turn
left again and there you will see the bus stop fo bus 62 (at the other
side are the stops for other buses and the tram).
NB:
1. When you take the train, check the signs of the railways at the tracks:
some trains only go straight to Central Station. Some stop at Amsterdam
Lelylaan (the fast train) and some stop at Amsterdam ZUID WTC!
If
you go to Central Station, the trip to our place is twice as long!!!
2.
To pay the train you can buy a ticket at the counter in the Railway Station.
To pay the bus ride you need a so called "strippenkaart". You
can buy a "strippenkaart" (this card with 15 "strippen"
costs about 6,50 Euro) also at the counter in the Train Station at the
Airport.
Tell
the bus driver you have to go to the stop Hoofddorpplein in Amsterdam.
The bus driver will stamp your strippen card. This card you can also use
in trams and buses everywhere in Holland (and in Amsterdam).
Coming
from Schiphol Airport with a taxi
You also can take a taxi to our B&B, but that is quite expensive.
At this moment I heard fares of 45 Euro for a ride from the airport to
the B&B! The standard rate should be about 25 Euro.
If you take a cab, we advise you to take a cab with the sign TCA (there
is a number of the taxi driver on the sign too). And ask for a receipt!!
If you have a complaint about the driver, you can ask for his number or
note this from the sign on top of the taxi. You don't have to take the
first taxi in line, you can make your own choice of which taxi to take.
Some taxi drivers will stand in the arrival hall to pick you up, but we
advise you to choose the taxi yourself!
Coming with the train to Amsterdam Central Station
Take tram number 2 and get out at the Hoofddorpplein. Go
to the Aalsmeerweg (this is the street left side from the tram stop) and
take the first road at your right. Ring at house number 51. The tram ride
takes about 20 minutes.
Coming with a car from direction Utrecht/Amersfoort
Drive to the ring road Amsterdam and take exit S107 Sloten/Schinkel .
At the end of the exit go right and go straight on. Coming on the Aalsmeerweg,
take the third road (this is where the pedestrian crossings are) on your
left and stop at house number 51.
Coming with a car from Schiphol airport
Follow the blue traffic signs directing to Amsterdam. You will come into
the Schiphol Tunnel. After the tunnel drive straight on , following the
Amsterdam signs, until you see the sign exit S107, Sloten/Schinkel.
TAKE THIS EXIT! At the bottom of the exit s107 turn right. Just
follow the road (this is about 1 to 1.5 kilometers) until you see a big
crossing with traffic lights and a sign S107 Schinkel directing to the
right. Take a right turn. Follow the road, just go straight on. You’ll
see traffic lights two times when you drive over the viaduct and you just
drive straight on. You will see houses now, this is the Aalsmeerweg. Then
take the third road on your left, (where you see the pedestrian crossings).
This is the Rietwijkerstraat. Ring at number 51.
COMING WITH A
BICYCLE, PLEASE MAIL US FOR DIRECTIONS!
Parking
place:
In the street of Flores & Puck you have to pay for car parking from
Monday through Saturday between 9 AM and 7 Pm. It costs about 2 Euro per
hour. But if you buy a day card, it costs about 12 Euro. You can also
park for free at a short distance from the B&B (5 minutes walking).
If you come by motorbike, there is a safe parking place near the B&B.
