In this blog we wrote down some of the things you can do during your layover or the few hours you’ll have here in Amsterdam during spring time.

Ultimately, this sounds like a great idea if you have a long layover in Amsterdam - or a good reason to go out of your way to book a long layover for future travel. Amsterdam is a beautiful city to visit, also if you'll only have a few hours. That would mean Id have 3 tests in 2 days. Can anyone confirm this as it seems a bit ridiculous. All planning is done through a convenient app. My question is a Delta rep told me that Amsterdam requires a PCR up to 72hrs before and a Rapid antigen 24 hrs before just for a 2 hr layover. In order to participate, you must be flying from the US, Canada or Italy between March 22 and May 31, 2016, and your layover must be at least six hours long. KLM’s service matches you with an Amsterdam local and pays for your train ride to the meeting place in the city center as well as the first round of drinks at a neighborhood bar. The program is very similar to Icelandair’s - the biggest difference being that KLM’s locals aren’t airline employees, whereas Icelandair’s buddies are.

And who better to show you around than someone who lives there, right? Now KLM is following in Icelandair’s footsteps and announcing its own “ Layover with a Local” service.

The Embassy and Consulate are not able to administer or pay for COVID-19 tests. This list is not comprehensive and the information within is subject to change at any time. A few weeks ago, Icelandair announced its new stopover buddy service for passengers, a program that pairs guests with a local so you can get out and explore Iceland on your stopover before continuing on to your final destination. Consulate General in Amsterdam has prepared a list of commercial testing providers.
