Will i have time to leave the amsterdam airport with a four hour layover.

Im 16 and im flying by myself from the us to france with a four hour layover in amsterdam. Will i have enough time to go into to the city just to say that ive been there?

If you want an honest answer and you are flying soon then the answer is no

Even without delays and after taxing & disembarking, (and assuming your luggage is automatically loaded on the flight to France) it can take 25-30 mins from the gate to passport control and then you would have to buy a ticket for the train. Trains leave from the airport to A'dam central station every 15 mins and it takes about 15-20mins

This itself is not a problem, but the return journey it. At this time of year passport control is very busy and I have seen queues stretching around the airport before now. Then after getting through passport control you may again have 25-30 mins walking to your gate

Therefore I really would not risk it. Schiphol airport is quite a nice one to spend some time at, so sit back and relax in one of the "easy chairs" or have a coffee at the Panorama restaurant watching the planes (or there are internet connections, a casino, shops etc etc) so I would advise you stay inside passport control in Schiphol to avoid problems
