Many visitors to North Holland (and the Netherlands) wil arrive at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the fifth busiest airport in Europe.

More information about the airport can be found in the Amsterdam article.
Getting to Amsterdam or anywhere else in North Holland from the airport is as easy as taking the train. Buy a ticket in the main hall, take the escalator below ground floor and wait for your train to arrive. A one-way to Amsterdam costs about 4 euro, to Haarlem 5 euro, to Hilversum 7 euro and to Alkmaar 8 euro. There are also taxis available, but expect to pay at least 50 euro for a trip to Amsterdam, 60 euro for Haarlem, 90 euro for Hilversum and 120 euro to Alkmaar.
