Visit Amsterdam and be surprised by the artistic heritage, the extensive network of canals and the narrow façade houses of the bustling capital of the Netherlands.
Both Eurostar and Eurocity Direct take you to Amsterdam at high speed, but arrive at different stations. With Eurostar, you get off at Amsterdam Centraal, located in the city centre. EuroCity Direct, however, serves Amsterdam Zuid station in the booming Zuidas business area.
Due to engineering works in Mechelen (Belgium), the itinerary of the EuroCity (Brussels-Rotterdam) and Eurocity Direct (Brussels-Amsterdam) will be restricted ad follows on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 August:
Our journey planner already takes these changes into account.
Due to planned engineering works, the Eurocity Direct (Brussels-Amsterdam) most Eurocity Direct trains will only operate between Bruxelles-Midi/Brussel-Zuid and Rotterdam Central on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 August 2025 included.
A few Eurocity Direct trains will arrive or depart at Amsterdam Central (instead of Amsterdam Zuid).
Passengers to Schiphol-Airport and Amsterdam can change trains in Breda or Rotterdam and use NS trains (Dutch Railways) to their final destination with their current ticket.
In the opposite direction, passengers from Amsterdam and Schiphol-Airport can use other trains to Rotterdam or Breda, where they can board on the Intercity train to Brussels.
Please check the adapted schedules before you depart.
