: Software recommendation
1. Lanzhou Railway Official app:nsreissplanner
NSReisplanner's "12306" is aimed at Dutch natives, namely official website and Dutch Railways, who have an App in official website (click to view). In fact, it is the same as the usage of 12306, that is, enter the departure city and arrive at the city station. Pay attention to check the train station where you want to get off. For example, there are three railway stations in Amsterdam, and the central railway station is the best one to get off.
There are two differences with China 12306. First of all, you can buy tickets for bicycles here (the Dutch like to ride bicycles by train). Secondly, you can enter the station five minutes in advance after purchasing tickets online. No security check, no waiting room. Taking the train is as convenient as taking the subway, but pay attention to transfer (in the same way as the subway).
Matters needing attention
1. Remember to swipe in and out, or the card fee will be deducted badly.
2.Sprinter's intercity train has Wi-Fi, but the speed is not very fast.
2. Bus real-time query App:9292
This is a nationwide bus inquiry App in the Netherlands. Analogous to the domestic "Here comes the car" App, you can query the bus you need to take to reach your destination, the nearby bus stop and the arrival time of the next bus in real time! This can control your waiting time well and avoid missing the bus, but the frequency of bus delay is higher than that of the train, so please wait patiently.
Regarding this app, there is no Chinese service for the time being, but there is English service. Most of the settings and English are very common, so there is no obstacle to use. If you are really not used to it, you can use Google Maps.
3. Google Maps Google Maps
This App was not launched by the Dutch themselves, but this map software is definitely a good companion for traveling in other countries except China. Google supports Chinese input, and the search results are presented in the form of maps and circuit diagrams, with good visual effects. If you drive, you need this to navigate.
If it's just the problem of querying the route and navigation that really blinds such a useful app, then I'll share the new features I unlocked while traveling with you.
The first is the SavedToGo function. When you travel to a city, you must have a destination you want to go to, whether it is a museum or a railway station. You search these places on Google in advance and then save them. At this time, there will be a small green flag in this position, which may be the meaning of flag-raising in online buzzwords.
Second, explore the function. This classification basically means that you can find nearby scenic spots, restaurants, bars, shopping malls, and parking lots of nearby banks and gas stations. Can it not matter? Google Maps can solve most problems in travel without a bunch of Baidu. The only thing worth improving is the toilet function. If only there was a toilet nearby. However, all McDonald's and KFC shopping centers in the Netherlands have toilets, but you only need to pay.
4. Comparison of European Railway Passenger Aircraft Applications
GoEuro is a price comparison website with its own App. It is not limited to use in the Netherlands, and basically all destinations in Europe can be selected. The comparison is basically the prices of trains, cars and planes. Most cities in Europe can get there by train and bus, but the train is much more expensive than the bus, especially if there is no discount for transnational trains.
GoEuro is a price comparison website, but tickets can also be bought. However, just use the price comparison function. After seeing the prices of trains and cars, you can go directly to official website to buy tickets, so that your after-sales service in official website is more secure and there is no price difference.
5. European cheap bus App:FLixbus
It is said that the train ticket discount in Europe is very cheap, but it is not. Because there are peak hours and peacetime when train tickets are discounted, the strength of the discount will also be affected by various factors. Friends who have lived in the Netherlands for a year, they gave me Amway for the first time (click to view) and can download the App. It is a European low-cost bus company, with fixed bus stops and perfect online ticketing system. Wherever the railway can go, buses can go, and the stations are all located near the railway station.
Wait 15 minutes in advance and get off at your own station, otherwise you will miss your stop. The biggest advantage of this car is free Wi-Fi and USB charging, which can be returned and changed. You can also buy two one-person seats and a bicycle seat with more luggage. These are very flexible.
6. Dutch weather real-time query app:Buienalarm
This is an App that Dutch locals open every day. It is said that they can uninstall all the apps above, but they can't live without this.
Buienalarm is a weather application. You also have your own weather application. Why do you want a new one? Because you don't know that the weather in Holland can change rapidly, and you can experience sunny, rainy and snowy weather in one day. The uniqueness of this App is that it can accurately tell the rainfall in your location in the next two hours. You can even check whether it is possible to stop raining after 5 minutes and whether you need to buy an umbrella.
This App also won the application award because it does not rely on GPS positioning, so privacy is very guaranteed. However, Buienalarm only provides information about the Netherlands, Flanders and parts of Germany.
Finally, if it rains, it is suggested to buy an umbrella at Etos convenience store or Albert Heiji or HEMA. 5 euros a pair, good quality and low price. You can find these shops in all cities in the Netherlands.
Practical website
1、 Discoverholland.com
The website provides air tickets, boat tickets, etc. Travel to Holland. Public transportation in Holland is very developed. Sky tickets allow you to take all the means of transportation for free and reach all the places you want to go. For example, to Yangjiao Village and Yangjiao Village, the round-trip train fare is 50 euros, including bus fare.
If you want to go boating in Yangjiao Village, you still need to book tickets, so the website can help you book all the trips.
Recommend a three-day pass to Amsterdam, only 33 euros. You can take all the means of transportation in Amsterdam during off-peak hours, or you can go to Sansans, a windmill village near Amsterdam, and Volendam, a seaport city.

2、Treineiziger.nl
This website is really only shared by ourselves. There are various discounted air tickets in the Netherlands, which can be purchased online and offline.
The only drawback is the Dutch website, but it can be translated into Chinese or English by Google. My two favorite tickets are daily train tickets 19 Euro, just like domestic daily subway tickets.
Secondly, the season ticket is 36 euros. You can choose to ride on weekends once a month, and there are three days in a quarter. I feel that the Netherlands will buy it when spring comes.

3. Interworking bus
This is a coupon issued by Flixbus. You spend 99 euros on five coupons. When you need to make flixbus, no matter what the price is, you can use coupons to offset it. So if you have a big trip to five cities, you can sleep in the car by night bus every day, go out to play during the day and walk as far as you want. I have lines in my head now.
