The Hotel NH Zandvoort is a 15 minutes walk from Zandvoort trainstation.
From Schiphol – you can travel on NS (the Dutch Railways) with either a single-use chipcard or an OV-chipkaart (more information see below) to Amsterdam Sloterdijk or Amsterdam CS and transfer to a train to Zandvoort. The single-use chipcard is available from the yellow ticket machines with the blue overhead sign reading ‘traintickets’. OV-chipkaart cardholders can also use the ticket machines with the yellow overhead sign. For more information please check the NS website: www.ns.nl/en.
Buying a chipcard – You can buy single-use chipcards and / or an anonymous OV-chipkaart at public transport service desks, from ticket vending machines in stations, at tobacco shops (such as Primera), and in several supermarkets. OV-chipkaart points of sale carry the pink OV-chipkaart logo.
Check in and out – When boarding a bus, tram, metro or train, hold your single-use chipcard or anonymous OV-chipkaart in front of the ticket reader. The green light and beep signal indicate that your card has been read. When you get off, hold your card in front of the ticket reader once again to check out. The display shows the credit used and how much credit is left on the card. Please don’t forget to check out since the meter will keep running if you don’t! Finally, do also not forget to check in! Coming across the ticket inspectors without a valid ticket it will cost you 50€.
