Once you have passed through security, you will automatically enter Lounge 1, 2, 3 or 4. From here, you can shop, eat out at bars and restaurants, and even visit a hotel and museum.
There are two parts to Schiphol.
The first part is Schiphol Plaza, which is publically-accessible. It is where you will find the train station, bus depot, taxi ranks and many shops.
The second part is the area after security. This area also has shops, as well as lounges and gates. This part is only accessible once you have cleared the standard airport security measures with your hand luggage.
Lounge 1, 2, 3 and 4 at Schiphol are tailored to different types of travellers, based on their destination.

Lounge 1 is used by intra-European travellers. It has some of the airport’s liveliest bars and restaurants, and plenty of great shops in which to bag a bargain.
You've found the ideal place to relax – or to work up a sweat. This is Schiphol's greenest spot. Lie back on a lounger or bean bag, read a book or take a nap, all to the sound of (pre-recorded) birdsong. There are also exercise bikes if you need a little more energy to jolt yourself back to life – the bikes will charge up your phone while you pedal.
Lounge 2 and 3 are both used for intercontinental travel, and are connected by Holland Boulevard. You can easily move between either for a change of scenery, and to explore different shops, bars and restaurants. There is a lot to do, see and experience.
Lounge 4 is a little more compact than Lounge 2 and 3, but still has plenty of shops, bars and restaurants for you to enjoy.
