In this day and age there are very few airports in the world that offer airside and land side tours to the general public, but Amsterdam Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands is one of them.

You can purchase your airport tour tickets at the aviation shop on the lower level of the shopping centre and tours operates several times a day depending on the season.

Although it is mostly conducted in Dutch language, this is no way detracts from enjoyment of the tour, as the tour guide also speaks in English as needed.

The tour shows all operational aspects of the busy international gateway airport from the comforts of an air conditioned coach. Which includes visits to the snow and grounds operations centre, the business aircraft aprons, the large hangars on the former Anthony Fokker factory site where airliners receive maintenance attention, and the runways (from a land side roadway).

The Amsterdam Schiphol airport tour is approximately one hour in duration and will be enjoyed by children and adults alike, and we highly recommend booking this next time you find yourself at Amsterdam airport with some spare time on your hands.
