City trip Amstelveen: a private chauffeur day out in Amsterdam's refined southern neighbour, 15 minutes from Schiphol.
A city trip to Amstelveen with a private chauffeur is the refined Amsterdam alternative most travellers miss: art, forest, a nature reserve and international dining, without the crowds of the canal ring. SilverDrive provides the car, the driver and a price fixed at booking, and builds the day around your pace.
Amstelveen lies directly south of Amsterdam, a separate municipality with one of the largest international communities in the Netherlands and Schiphol about 15 minutes away. That makes it an easy chauffeur day out from an Amsterdam hotel and an ideal use of a long layover.
Start at the Cobra Museum of Modern Art, devoted to the postwar movement of Karel Appel, Asger Jorn and Corneille; note that it is closed on Mondays. Walk through the Stadshart, the modern town centre, for coffee. Then drive to the Amsterdamse Bos, a forest park of roughly 1,000 hectares with a rowing course, a goat farm and the Grote Vijver lake. After lunch, the Amstelveense Poel is a protected lake and reedland where herons and grebes work the edges, and the day ends in Oud Amstelveen, the historic village heart with its old church and low brick houses.
A tram reaches Amstelveen, but a chauffeur glides between museum, forest and lunch without timetables, and can collect you at Schiphol or your hotel. Choose a Maybach for a couple, an S-Class for executive comfort, a BMW i7 or Mercedes EQS for silent electric travel, or a V-Class for families of up to seven. Combine the day with Amsterdam or Haarlem.
Book your chauffeur in Amstelveen or ask for a quote; the price is fixed when you book.
