at Schiphol airport. Trains leave from Schiphol Airport for
Leiden every 10-15 minutes. The journey takes about 20 minutes.
Train
tickets can be purchased either from a ticket counter or from
a machine (which will only accept Euro-coins). There also
is a train-ticket machine in the baggage claim area, so you
could already buy a ticket while you are waiting for the
baggage to arrive. If you cannot use the machines, you will
find the
ticket counters in the main hall. Costs
of a single fare second class are approximately €4,80
and first class €7,70. The differences between first and
second class are minimal.
