City station first, airport bus second
A suitable direct NS train from Amsterdam Centraal to Eindhoven Centraal takes about 1 hour 20 minutes. Check the NS planner for your date, station and any disruption. Eindhoven Centraal is in the city; the airport requires a separate bus journey.
For Eindhoven Airport, follow signs to the north side of the station and take bus 400 or 401. The airport gives about 20 minutes for the bus ride. Add the walk from the platform, the wait for the bus and the airport's recommended arrival buffer. The train time alone is not a useful estimate for catching a flight.
Budget for both tickets
The rail fare displayed here is an earlier planning estimate. Check the current NS price for your exact journey. Ordinary domestic trains do not need a reserved seat; if using OVpay, check in and out with the same card or device and use a separate one for each traveller.
Hermes' Airport Express single ticket costs €5.15. It covers the airport bus under its own conditions and does not allow a bus change. OVpay is another payment method with its own fare calculation, so the fixed ticket price is not a promise of the contactless fare.
For a very early flight, check the first train and bus before deciding to travel from Amsterdam that morning. A night in Eindhoven may give more room for the connection, but a city hotel still requires the airport transfer. Follow the airline and airport arrival advice for your flight.
If you are staying in Eindhoven
Leave your bags before heading to the Philips Museum, Strijp-S or the Van Abbemuseum. Choose the subject you want to spend time on and allow for travel between areas. Our Eindhoven guide includes current museum prices and overnight advice.
For more on everyday ticket use, read the Netherlands OVpay guide. Check the return train separately if Eindhoven is a day trip rather than an airport connection.
