Specific prohibited items can vary by train operator and region, so please check the rules for your particular journey.
The currency used in the Netherlands is the Euro (EUR). Travelers generally find it more convenient to use cards, as most places accept debit and credit cards, though having some cash on hand is useful for small purchases or in rural areas.
At Schiphol, travelers should be cautious of pickpockets, especially in crowded areas like check-in halls and public transport zones. Scams involving taxi overcharging are common; it’s advised to use official taxi services or pre-booked rides. Additionally, travelers should watch out for fake charity collectors and unauthorized currency exchange booths offering poor rates. Always keep personal belongings secure and be wary of unsolicited offers.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
