Texel is an island in the Dutch Wadden Sea. If you want to spend your holiday on Texel, you should inform yourself well in advance about how to get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
We arrived very relaxed by train, but it is also possible to drive to the island by car. The ferry port is in the harbour town of Den Helder and is well signposted. If you don’t want to take your car to the island, you will find free parking there. To get to this car park, follow the signs “P Texel”, “Afhalen + Wegbrengen”. If there is no parking space left at the ferry terminal, you can park for free in the vicinity of the ferry terminal at Willemsoord P3, about 10 minutes’ walk from the entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our train journey started from Amsterdam Central Station with a regional train to Den Helder. The journey took about 1.5 hours and we were able to get off directly at the terminus in Den Helder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can only leave the station through a turnstile and by scanning the QR code on your train ticket. If you have a Deutsche Bahn ticket, you cannot leave the platform without the QR code. However, there is a bell \/ call button for the staff who will then help you and open the turnstile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ferry terminal is a good 1.5 kilometres from the station. Directly in front of the station is the bus station, from where a bus runs directly to the ferry terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bus 33 runs to coincide with the ferry’s departure times, so you can be sure of reaching the ship on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
