International guests will fly into Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS). From there, you have a few options to reach Friesland:

By Train

• The train from Schiphol Airport to Friesland takes about 2–3 hours. You can travel via Leeuwarden to Sneek. From Sneek, it’s a 20-minute taxi or car ride to Pollepleats or wherever you stay.

By Car

• If you prefer flexibility, you can rent a car at Schiphol. The drive north to Friesland takes about 90 minutes.

Do You Need a Car?

• We will ensure everyone has transportation to and from their accommodation and the wedding at Pollepleats on August 15th.

• But if you’re traveling with a group, planning to rent a house outside the city, or want maximum freedom to explore Friesland, we recommend renting a car.

• If you’re traveling solo or as a couple and staying in a hotel—or if you’re visiting Amsterdam before or after the wedding—you can easily get around without a car. Public transportation is reliable and straightforward. And we will help coordinate ride sharing.

Travel Basics

Extend your Trip!

We know it's a lot to ask to come to the Netherlands, so we hope you can consider making a holiday out of it! We will be in Amsterdam the week before the wedding and will do our best to coordinate with visitors who arrive early. If you’d like to explore more of the Netherlands beyond Friesland and Amsterdam, consider a visit to:

• Rotterdam — modern architecture and a lively port city

• The Hague — home of Dutch politics and the Peace Palace

• Maastricht — a charming southern city with Belgian and French influence

Amsterdam is also one of Europe’s best travel hubs, so we highly recommend extending your trip for a European visit. By train, you can easily reach:

• Paris (3.5 hours)

• London (4 hours)

• Brussels (2 hours)

• Berlin (6 hours)
