As you say goodbye to the Netherlands' warm hospitality, a new chapter of your northern European trip unfolds before you. The Kingdom of the Low Countries is a memory in your rearview mirror as hilly terrain rolls across Belgium. And you'll know you're at your final destination when mouthwatering Belgian chocolate stores begin to appear on every street corner.

Daytrip knows that planning, navigating, and embarking on this voyage can be challenging. We also believe everyone deserves a carefree journey to truly appreciate this remarkable piece of the world. So, we put together this ultimate guide for getting from Amsterdam to Brussels so you can have the perfect vacation!

Today, it's one of the most valuable cities on the continent, as the region is the headquarters of the European Union. However, Brussels's significance dates back hundreds of years, when it began to flourish in the Middle Ages. It became a vital trading stop for travelers crossing to other European powerhouses at the time. Many would take a break here and trade goods at the main square.

Brussels' landlocked location played arguably the most influential role in shaping the area's culture. Belgium shares its border with four countries. The Netherlands in the north, Germany in the east, France in the west, and Luxemburg in the south all sandwich Europe's 15th smallest state. And each one's traditions have rubbed off on Brussels.

French, Dutch, and German are all official languages in the city. And even one in every three residents here fluently speaks English. The city's art and architecture are the most notable features of Brussels's melting pot of cultures. It's renowned for its Art Nouveau architecture, which is characterized by intricate designs, flowing lines, and organic motifs. Most of the world-renowned landmarks you see today are still in their original state, including the Grand Place, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in town.

Consider an alternative route

The main route from Amsterdam to Brussels is along the A27 and E19 motorways. These roads are the most time-efficient. However, you will miss the panoramic backroads and stunning attractions on the way.

If you're not in a rush, venture off the beaten path and explore ancient castles and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Along with keeping your eyes happy, you'll keep your thrill-seekers in high spirits, too.

Book tickets in advance

Amsterdam and Brussels are both bucket-list destinations near each other. They're also eco-conscious cities where locals prefer public transport to cars.

As a result, the train and bus can sell out in advance. To ensure your mode of transportation is available at your desired time and to save money, book your ticket at least 30 days in advance.

Bus from Amsterdam to Brussels

The average journey time from Amsterdam to Brussels is 2 hours, 45 minutes. Flixbus and BlaBlaBus run daily and offer single tickets starting at only €9.99. Therefore, it's no surprise that the bus is quickly becoming one of the most popular options.

When traveling by bus, double-check your departure and arrival stations. Budget companies often stop at alternative stations further from the city center to keep fees down. Brussels North Station is a 10-minute taxi ride to downtown, while Heysel Station is 4.5 miles northwest of the city.

Flight from Amsterdam to Brussels

Flights from Amsterdam to Brussels are the least common mode of transport. KLM is the only carrier. And with no competition, tickets often cost over €200 each way.

Although the flight can take as little as 45 minutes, you must factor in the 1.5-hour airport wait time. Then, it will take another 20–30 minutes to reach downtown Brussels. Overall, this is the slowest way to get from Amsterdam to Brussels.
