I remember them as Europe's travel hub while most of us had locked down lol. My friend had gone to visit Japan and all the flights back to Germany were cancelled, but she could get a flight to Amsterdam and then a train down. Nobody checked her at all. So e.g. if you wanted to legally, easily cross from France to Germany your best bet was through Amsterdam.
