Train from Amsterdam to Brussels
Changes to our services between the Netherlands and Belgium
Passengers will be unable to travel from the Netherlands to Belgium on our trains until further notice. This is because of changes to our services due to ongoing travel and border restrictions.
Passengers will only be able to board our trains from Amsterdam or Rotterdam if they’re travelling direct to London.

Multi-cultural Brussels
A true mélange of cultures, Brussels is where francophone Wallonia and Dutch-speaking Flanders meet, so prepare to order a Belgian waffle in French next to a Dutch-style guildhall.
Move over, moules-frites
When in Brussels you must try carbonade flamande, a deliciously rich beef stew. Then, tick off two favourites in one and order a glass of chocolate beer. Trust us – it’s exquisite.
A city for all seasons
Brussels boasts everything from music and flowers to art and craft, food and (naturally) beer.
Don’t miss the Manneken
No trip to Brussels is complete without a visit to the Manneken Pis, who from time to time has his modesty restored with anything from judo kit to a full Father Christmas outfit.
