From Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, a direct train departs to Utrecht Central Station every 15 minutes. Travel time is 30 minutes.

We strongly advise you to buy your e-ticket in advance, this is easier and cheaper than buying a ticket at the vending machine. These tickets are also available as mobile tikcets.

Note that a return ticket is only valid for travelling on the same day, so you will need to buy 2 separate one way tickets per travel date. 

Purchase your train e-ticket via the NS (Dutch railways) website.
