Amsterdam airport for 2 1/2 hours- what to do?
We will be in the airport in Amsterdam for over 2 hours. I heard that it is a large airport with alot of shops, casinos, etc. What do you recommend doing with our time- after we find our gate, of course!

Hi rucrazy,
This website should help you out:

The Amsterdam airport is an excellent terminal for a layover, ours was about the same amount of time as yours and it flew (no pun intended, hee) by.
The above website has detailed info for you.
Safe journey, Tiff

You can gamble a few euros away. There are at least a couple of casinos in there.

Ditto on the security procedures at Schipol - very thorough (meaning lengthy). Don't expect to shop and shop and then breeze on through. There was an interview process which took place in the boarding area right before you actually got on the plane.

Just my two cents worth..always had security screening when changing planes, and both planes with KLM.
Hi artlover, how are you? I too read a book but also just enjoy people watching. Great airport.
rucrazy, two hours at the airport in Amsterdam will go by so quickly. In fact I would prefer to have a bit more time (I usually have three hours).

There is even a branch of the Rijksmuseum in the airport. It is small, but really lovely. When I was there last there were about 20 of the highlights of the museum on display. Well worth the visit!

Hi - Believe me - 2 hours won't seem like nearly enough time at the airport. It is fantastic. It has great shops. We just changed planes and we had to go through the security interview before boarding our plane. That did take quite a while. Good Luck! Patti

I think you should just start walking around and window shop and stop at whatever store/bar/restaurant catches your eyes. Schipol is my fave airport for layover because I actually enjoy browsing around.
Suze: Yes - there is a meditation room at the airport!
