Haarlemmermeerstation with its brick facade is a notable example of early 20th-century Dutch architecture.
The station is the starting point of the former railway line to Amstelveen, Aalsmeer and Uithoorn.
Besides regular train services, special trains were also used to transport goods to the flower auction in Aalsmeer and Schiphol Airport.
Passenger traffic was discontinued in 1950, after which the transport of goods (mainly coal transport) still remained until 1972.
Today, it has been transformed into a special venue for weddings, dinners and other festivities.

From early April until late October every Sunday historic trams (streetcars), departing from Haarlemmermeerstation, run on the 100-year connection between Amsterdam and Bovenkerk in Amstelveen, a large city between Amsterdam and Schiphol Airport.
