Travelling to Amsterdam

By Air

Most major airlines fly directly to Amsterdam. For cheap flights within the UK and Europe try www.ryanair.com or www.easyjet.com. Both have several flights a day connecting Amsterdam to other major centres at very affordable prices. Book far enough in advance and travel for £0.01 each way (plus taxes and fees).

By Coach

Eurolines still remain the best option for cheap, intercity travel between Amsterdam and most other European destinations, large and small. Visit www.eurolines.com for prices and schedules.

By Train

If the bus doesn’t get you where you want to go fast enough then you can spend a bit more and get a seat on the speedy rail network that makes European travel so very convenient. Take a look at the following website to plan your journey. www.europeanrailguide.com

You can also hitch a ride on the EuroStar at www.eurostar.com. This is a super fast and carbon neutral way to cross the English Channel, and the train connects to most major travel hubs. From London, take the Eurostar to Brussels and a change here to continue on to Amsterdam. Book early for cheap seats and enjoy discount youth prices until the age of 26.

By Ferry

For a leisurely and scenic route try the Dutch Flyer from the UK to Holland. For around £29 you get a ferry ride across the English Channel to Belgium and a connecting rail pass to Amsterdam. For more details see www.dutchflyer.co.uk
