A variety of bookshops
Whether you’re looking for a new book to keep you entertained on your flight, or you want to find the perfect literary gift for friends or family, you’re sure to find something at Schiphol. From thrillers and romance novels, to children’s books and travel guides – the shops at the airport cater to all tastes and age groups. News & Books stores can be found at various spots after security, with six permanent locations and one pop-up store. They stock a wide range of Dutch and English books, as well as several international magazines.
Travel Books & Electronics sells books related to travel, so it’s a great place to buy a guide for your destination in order to prepare for your trip. You can find Travel Books & Electronics in Lounge 2. Not got much time before boarding, but want to grab a last-minute book for your journey? You’ll find V!ZZ!T (which also sells gifts and other popular items) on Pier C, and well-known chain WHSmith (which also sells drinks and snacks) on piers D and F.
Reading spots
Once you have your reading material, you might want to find a comfortable and cosy place to sit down and enjoy it. Luckily, there’s plenty of suitable reading spots to choose from at Schiphol. In Lounge 2, you can head upstairs to escape the hustle and bustle. There are seats in the area around the Meditation Centre that offer travellers a quieter place to sit and read their books.
And how does reading among real trees sound? It’s possible at the Airport Park in Lounge 1 – a green oasis with loungers and bean bags! Lastly, you always have the possibility of going to one of our many cafés to enjoy your literature with a nice cup of coffee.
Happy reading!
