CENTRAAL STATION - CENTRAL STATION








Petit Futé's opinion on CENTRAAL STATION - CENTRAL STATION

Amsterdam's Central Station is a symbol of the city. In recent years, it has been eaten away by very important works for the construction of a metro line and a new bus station, but remains visible from the outside. It was built between 1881 and 1889 according to the plans of P. H. Cuypers, who also designed the Rijksmuseum, which was opened in 1885 and is very similar to it. It is also the first Dutch station to be designed by a famous architect. The station was installed on 3 artificial islands with almost 9,000 stilts. This closed the port but prevented the railway lines from crossing the city. The two towers in the station were intended to make it a new gateway to the city. The station quickly proved to be too small and many additions (1922 and 1997) have been made since its construction. She is currently undergoing a major transformation and is gradually revealing her new face! Don't miss the floating bicycle garage, on the right as you leave the station. The new bicycle tunnel with its Delft tiles is worth a visit. The rear part of the once very underdeveloped station is now a real gateway to the city's northern districts with the shared space, a new space for traffic without fire. The new shopping malls, including the Lil' Amsterdam in the east, are worth a visit. Currently, it is the city side of the station that is being redesigned and rebuilt.

Véritable porte d entrée de la ville en pleine mutation
Galeries éclairées, bonnes indications. Office du tourisme.
En sortant, ouverture directe sur le centre-ville.
Une kyrielle de boutiques et de restaurants au sous-sol. Juste derrière, des ferrys pour traverser et aller de distraire de l'autre côté du fleuve. Bien pensé.
Centraal station est assez grande et bien aménagée et sert de gare routière, de gare maritime, de gare avec des trains nationaux et internationaux ainsi que de point de terminus du tramway.
Une belle gare de l'intérieur comme de l'extérieur.
Situé en plein centre, du coup lorsqu'on arrive de l'aéroport il est très facile de se rendre au centre d'Amsterdam pour 5 € grand max.
par contre pour prendre un train c'est beaucoup plus compliqué car il n'y a aucun affichage
