Schiphol has official 24/7 baggage storage before security and lockers after security in the transfer area. Use the airport option if you will return to AMS.
For larger bags or longer storage, use the Baggage Storage area on level -1 between Arrivals 1 and Arrivals 2. For a day in Amsterdam, compare city storage near Amsterdam Centraal only if it avoids an extra airport return.
At the airport
Schiphol lists two storage routes: lockers after security in the transfer area near the gates for up to 7 days, and a Baggage Storage area at Arrivals for larger luggage or longer storage up to 30 days. The arrivals storage is on level -1 between Arrivals 1 and Arrivals 2 and is listed as open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Choose based on whether you are staying in the transfer area, returning to Schiphol landside, or spending the day in Amsterdam.
Best for larger bags, checked baggage, longer storage and travellers who will collect luggage before departing from AMS.
Best for small bags during an airside transfer when you are staying after security near the gates.
Best if you are taking the train into Amsterdam and want storage near Amsterdam Centraal or your first city stop.
Use arrivals storage for public-side plans
If you are leaving the airport or need a larger-bag option, Schiphol's arrivals baggage storage is the practical airport choice.
Do not mix up airside and landside
Transfer-area lockers are after security, while arrivals baggage storage is before security.
City storage only when it saves a trip
Amsterdam Centraal storage can help if your day is entirely in the city, but airport storage is cleaner if you will return to AMS anyway.
