Zaandam, just north-west of Amsterdam, is about 30 kilometres from Schiphol – around 25 to 35 minutes by car via the A10 and A8. Many travellers stay in Zaandam’s hotels near the station for easy access to Amsterdam, and the historic windmills of the Zaanse Schans are a few kilometres further north.
