A travel guide to the best places to visit

Trip to Brussels or Paris

You can spend weeks in Amsterdam and still discover more fun new things to do. But if you are going on an European city trip you don’t have to confine yourself to one city. Amsterdam is well connected with public transportation. Several high speed trains from Amsterdam go directly to Rotterdam, Brussels and Paris. For as cheap as 35 euros (2018) you can go from Amsterdam to Paris within three and a half hours of travel by train. For the smart tourist it’s certainly worth considering.
