FROM THE AIRPORT TO THE TRAIN STAtion
From the airport take the train to Amsterdam Central Station. The trains in the airport are under the main hall. Buy tickets at the yellow machines, you can find the yellow machines in the main hall and even in the baggage hall. So you can buy tickets while waiting for your baggage. From the airport Amsterdam Schiphol it will take 14 or 18 minutes by train to Amsterdam Central Station. A train will depart every 8 or 5 minutes and costs 4,50 euro for the second class.
from the train station, by metro and bus
At the train- or metro station you can buy public transport tickets for the metro and bus. Buy a 1-hour public transport ticket for 3,20 euro or one day ticket for 8,00 euro. You can use these tickets in the metro and the bus. The ticketmachines are colored grey (with a bit blue) and are operated by the GVB, which is the name of the public transport of Amsterdam.
Take the metro 52, direction Noord (North). Exit the first stop, station Noorderpark. From there, its a 15 min walk. Or take bus 35 (direction Olof Palmeplein) and exit the second stop, station Merelstraat. From there enter the green park under the steel archways. You have trees on your left and grass and a pond on your right. After a few hundred meters you reach a crossing with a camping on your left, walk straight on. Then you'll reach a diagonal crossing. You can follow the footpath through the heart of the park (straight on) or take the road to the left which is lighted during the night. Both will take around ten minutes. You’ll exit the park just in front of our Bed and Breakfast Noorderlicht!

If you don't have navigation yet, these are the written directions. On the ringway around Amsterdam (A10) drive to the north side to the exit S 116 (number 16). Follow direction S 116 to the south. After a few kilometres you can exit at the S 118. It’s the exit which guides you next to a concrete wall. Do not go straight on under the bridge or you will drive to the city centre through the tunnel under the river. You have to go to the junction on top of the bridge. From the exit two bends take you up to a junction. Take a left over the bridge. You are now on the street named "Yohan van Hasseltweg". Go straight at the round about. You notice a gas station on your right hand. Follow the street, you'll encounter two bends (left than right) and will drive into the park eventually. If you reach the water (this is the Nieuwendammerkade) drive half way, you reach number 11, welcome at Bed and Breakfast Noorderlicht! Parking is Euro 8,40 for one day.
