To buy tickets for the train, you can use the ticket vending machines in the arrival hall.

These vending machines accept Mastercard and Visa credit cards.

You can also buy tickets at the ticket booths (indicated by the red arrows above). They will also accept credit cards, but only with a build-in chip in combination with a PIN code. If you like to purchase tickets through the vending machines, use this link to an interactive demo of the machine:

(language selection is at the bottom left of the screen).

Price of a single ticket to Maastricht is: €27.50 (second class) or €46.80 (first class).

Travel time: 2 hours 35 minutes.

Suggestion: if you travel with a lot of luggage or you have to take a train before 9:30 AM (rush hour), I suggest taking a first class ticket. Less crowded and more space.

At the airport all signs are in English.

 

32 minutes later, you will arrive at Platform 14 in Utrecht Central station.

Now cross the platform to the other side (which is Platform 15) and hop on the train which is already waiting there. The train at platform 15 consists of 2 sections. Be sure you get on the front section of the train, otherwise you may not end up in Maastricht. If you happen to enter the second part of the train, you can still go to the front part at your next intermediate stop (e.g.  's-Hertogenbosch, Eindhoven....). If you do not, you will end up in Heerlen, another city in Limburg.

No time to explore the railway station, your train to Maastricht leaves 6 minutes after your arrival in Utrecht!

("Voor" means "front" and "achter" means "rear".

When you have purchased your ticket(s), use the escalator to go down to platform 3 (which is downstairs on your right side). The escalators are located in the middle of the arrival hall and cannot be missed. The train you need to take, departs at 29 and 59 minutes past the hour. Trains are punctual. This train has a final destination of "Nijmegen".

In Utrecht Central Station (Utrecht C) you need to change trains.

See sign below. "Vertrek" means "departure".
