Amsterdam to vlaardingen... help?

Hey!

We are going to Amsterdam in 2 weeks, and on the Saturday and sunday will be visiting friends in vlaardingen. we will be staying at the Blue Tower Hotel in Amsterdam Leeuwendalersweg 21, Amsterdam 1055JE. What is the best and cheapest way to do the trip, we looked at trains, but they seemed to be around 17 euro each way, per person. so with doing 4 trips, 2 people, seems kinda pricey...

any help appreciated as its our first time over there :j

  • Train is best, bus will be cheaper. It's a fair trail.

    Taxi for 4 people may be cheaper than the train, too, especially with the likes of Uber now around.

    I know this is the case a lot of the time from our base (near Stansted) going into London (£80 each way vs £120ish in morning if travelcard would be required)
