SO close and yet so far — a common emotion for the international traveler. Thanks to complicated itineraries, even the most adept planner can end up with a long layover. But thanks to high-speed trains and better urban planning, being stuck at the airport isn’t what it used to be. Some of the best and most convenient options in the following culturally rich cities will be in well-touristed areas, but with, say, six hours at your disposal, all you’ll really want is a taste.
AMSTERDAM
Schiphol airport is a quick, comfortable train ride away from Amsterdam’s Centraal Station. Once you arrive, the key to enjoying a quick stay is to get out of the city’s overwhelming Centrum district. Luckily, Amsterdam features an extensive and easy-to-use tram system.
