Amsterdam in brief: getting your bearings

Amsterdam is the capital and largest city of the Netherlands, known for its scenic canals, rich history, and iconic cultural scene. Travellers come for holidays, museum visits, shopping, and conferences, and those flying in can use Schiphol Airport, whose station sits directly beneath the terminal with trains reaching Amsterdam Centraal in 14–17 minutes.

Centraal itself offers direct rail services to Schiphol on Sprinter trains in about 17 minutes. With Stasher, you can store bags from €1.49 per bag per day at 30+ locations across Amsterdam.

Some top Stasher locations in Amsterdam include:

• Local shop, 5 min walk from Albert Cuypmarkt · open late · rated 5/5 (400+ reviews)

Most points cluster around De Wallen, Amsterdam Noord and Centraal Station. Every booking comes with the Stasher Guarantee, which protects your bags up to €12,000. Stasher storage in Amsterdam can be booked through the website or app.

Arriving and leaving with luggage

At Schiphol itself, automated luggage lockers sit after security in the transfer area near the gates, open 24/7 for up to 7 days at €8.50 per locker. If you're heading into the city, Intercity direct trains run between Centraal and the airport with no surcharge for that segment. Centraal Station is also served by Eurostar trains to London and Paris and European Sleeper services, so it's worth sorting your bags before boarding. A free ferry runs from the station's northern side over to Amsterdam Noord for anyone staying across the IJ.

The cruise port is about a 15-minute walk from Centraal, or a short ride on tram 26, and Sloterdijk is another major transport hub connecting Amsterdam to other parts of the Netherlands and international destinations.

Museums and attractions: bag rules

The Van Gogh Museum prohibits anything larger than 45 x 25 x 25 cm, including wheeled suitcases, though it does offer self-service lockers for small bags within that size. The Anne Frank House requires anything bigger than A4 to be left in the cloakroom and has no space for large bags or suitcases. The Rijksmuseum also has limits: its free supervised cloakroom takes daypacks, umbrellas, and school backpacks, but not travel luggage.

The Heineken Experience also runs a free cloakroom for bags up to 32 x 25.5 x 49 cm, but trolley suitcases and carry-on luggage cannot be stored on-site. The Koninklijk Paleis Amsterdam only allows bags up to 30 x 30 x 15 cm and cannot store large backpacks or rolling suitcases.

Neighbourhoods and getting around with bags

Amsterdam Noord, the former industrial district across the River IJ, is famous for street art, the NDSM-werf, EYE Filmmuseum, and A'DAM Lookout, but it has no official luggage storage or left-luggage facilities provided by the local authority or transport operators.

De Wallen is a 5-minute walk from Nieuwmarkt metro station. On GVB trams, buses, and metros, hand luggage is allowed provided there's enough space, it doesn't block exits or take up seats needed by others, and it poses no danger or inconvenience to other passengers. com/luggage-storage/netherlands/amsterdam/keukenhof), served by bus 852 from a station in southern Amsterdam, operates with 30-minute arrival slots and is open daily from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM during its season.
