Transportation to Breukelen:
By taxi (or Uber)
Travel time: approx. 25–30 minutes.
Indicative fixed fares: From Schiphol to Breukelen: approx. €60–€80 for 1–4 passengers with many taxi companies.
Where to get a taxi:
Official taxis are available at the taxi rank outside Schiphol Plaza / arrivals hall. Pre-booking is also possible.
Practical tips: Pre-booking a taxi often gives a fixed and lower price than using the meter. Metered airport taxis are usually more expensive than pre-arranged fixed fares.
By public transport (train + bus) This is usually the most economical option, but it takes longer than traveling by car or taxi.
