Netherlands
Coach / Cars
Long-distance Eurolines buses connect Amsterdam to most European cities. Eurolines and Citysprint buses travel across the channel to Britain, usually through France. Buses are used for regional transport rather than for long distances. They do, however, fill the rail gaps in the north and east. Bus stations are almost always situated next to the main railway station in a town; in towns with no rail service they'll usually be found in the town centre.
Air
The Netherlands has just one international airport, Schiphol, about 10km southwest of Amsterdam.
Boat
Most travellers go overland through Belgium and France to pick up a boat to England, but ferries also run between Hock van Holland (Hook of Holland) and Harwich, UK; Europoort (near Rotterdam) and Hull, UK; IJmuiden (near Amsterdam) and Newcastle, UK; and IJmuiden and Kristiansand, Norway.
Various
The Dutch use their bicycles as a mean of transportation - to go shopping, commute to work, etc. - rather than for recreational sport. Considering the beautiful scenery and some 15,000 kilometres of specially designated bicycle paths and routes, cycling in Holland may be not only practical, but also very enjoyable.
