Public Transport From Schiphol Airport

You will have to take two trains: the first to Amersfoort, the second to Putten. It will cost about 13 euros and the trip will take a bit less than 1h30. Please buy a single ticket, not a return one.

 

For example:

Schiphol Airport 13h35 platform 3 - NS Intercity train (dir. Enschede) -> 14h20 Amersfoort.
Amersfoort 14h41 platform 2 - NS Sprinter train (dir. Zwolle) -> 14h58 Putten.

We urge you to plan your train trip before your arrival in the Netherlands: please download the 9292 app (yes, that is the name of the app) or go to 9292.nl.  Simply enter Schiphol Airport and Putten as your starting and end locations and check which train(s) you are likely to catch. Avoid trains with more than 1 connection (e.g. going first through Amsterdam Centraal).
