Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, already jam packed with amenities, now has an high-tech indoor park.
Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport has a lot going for it. Besides being just 20 minutes from downtown Amsterdam, the airport is just a fun place to hang around. There are really fun play areas for kids, a casino for adults, a short-stay Yotel hotel perfect for napping and refreshing up, lounge chairs, a library and some […]
Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport has a new Traveling Art exhibition space devoted to the work of Dutch artists and designers. The work displayed will change every three months, but right now the exhibit cases include “Flexible Volume” bags designed Gonnie Janssen. For example, the Harmonica Bag has a flexible bottom that can be adjusted to its […]
Here’s a brilliant idea: Amsterdam Schiphol Airport has partnered with the Dutch Public Libraries to open the world’s first airport library. The library is just past passport control, on Holland Boulevard, and offers passengers waiting for a flight a place to read books in 29 different languages, listen to music, watch films and download material […]
I’m a big fan of Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport. The amenities there – from the play areas and the first-class art collection to the plentiful lounge chairs, the casino and floating branch of the Rijksmuseum – make long layovers more of an adventure than a chore. Now they’ve turned their attention to the departure gate experience […]

(Strahov Monastery library, Prague. Photos courtesy Curious Expeditions , via Flickr) Over the years I’ve heard from one or two US airports that were toying with the idea of letting their local library have a cart somewhere in the terminal where travelers could check out and return library books. But so far, it seems nothing […]
Ash from Iceland’s volcano put the kabosh on a lot of flights yesterday and a lot of people spent a lot of time stuck at the airport. Those, like me, that were lucky got to spend their time at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, where there’s not only a branch of the Rijksmuseum, but a collection of […]
