The new Eurocity Direct trains ensure a daily and swift connection between Belgium and the Netherlands. They take you at high speed from Brussels to Amsterdam. You will reach the Dutch capital in about 2 hours, with stops in Antwerp, Rotterdam and Schiphol Airport along the way. After Amsterdam, the Eurocity Direct continues to Almere and Lelystad.
Whether you are planning a (day) trip to Rotterdam or Amsterdam, need to catch a flight at Schiphol or cross the border for business purposes regularly, these trains will get you to your destination with ease.
Attention: Eurocity Direct doesn't serve Amsterdam Central but Amsterdam Zuid station, located in the Zuidas (Amsterdam's main business area). From this station, you can easily reach the city centre by metro or bus. More about Amsterdam Zuid >
Eurocity Direct's arrival station is Amsterdam Zuid, on the city's south outskirts.
