Central station which is the symbol of the city, with two towers in Amsterdam

Amsterdam's central station is a symbol of the city. Over the past decade, it has been gnawed away by major construction work to build a metro line and a new bus station, but is still clearly visible from the outside. It was built between 1881 and 1889 to plans by P.H. Cuypers, who also designed the Rijksmuseum, inaugurated in 1885, which closely resembles it. In fact, it was the first Dutch station to be designed by a famous architect. The station was built on 3 artificial islands with almost 9,000 piles. This closed off the port but prevented the railroad lines from crossing the city. The station's two towers were intended as a new gateway to the city. The station soon proved too small, and numerous additions have been made since its construction. It is now undergoing a major transformation, and is gradually revealing its new face! Don't miss the two fabulous new underground bike parks. The superb bike tunnel on the north side, with its Delft tiles, is also well worth a visit. The back part of the station, once a real underworld, is now a true gateway to the city's northern districts, with the shared space, a brand-new fire-free traffic area and the brand-new wooden jetty. The shopping arcades are well worth a visit. At present, the city side of the station is being finalized, and the entrance to the city is more elegant.

Quartiers nord d'Adam via les navettes derrière la gare
Je recommande un séjour à Amsterdam dans les hôtels situés dans les quartiers nord de la gare. Accès très commode en voiture ou en train via les navettes fluviales gratuites qui tournent 24/24 et qui arrivent juste derrière la gare. Accès central à toute la ville via les transports en commun au travers de la gare.

Arrivée ou départ ?
Jolie gare ou l’on arrive en Thalys depuis Paris et d’où il est possible de repartir vers d’autres villes telles que Rotterdam ou encore Anvers et Bruxelles. Rénovation bientôt finie, elle n’en sera que plus belle à voir. La photo incontournable est celle de son toit depuis l’autre rive, ou encore mieux, depuis la tour Adam.
