Is there a direct train from Bruges to Amsterdam?

Unfortunately, there is no direct train service from Bruges to Amsterdam. Usually, you can expect one to two changes if you’re traveling between these two places.

Do you use the same currency in Amsterdam as you do in Bruges?

The Euro is the currency in Bruges, Amsterdam, and many other European countries. You will need to use Euros in Burges and Amsterdam, so it’s best to change your foreign currency as soon as possible if you’re planning on buying anything.

Where should you avoid when visiting Amsterdam from Bruges?

One place beginner travelers should avoid when visiting Amsterdam is the Red Light District. Although this district is famous, it is controversial with legalized cannabis coffee shops and prostitution. It’s also often crowded and has a higher crime rate, with tourists often exposed to pickpockets and scammers.

Where should you stay in Amsterdam?

Accommodation in Amsterdam is expensive, so uncovering where you plan to stay before leaving Burges is crucial. If you’re on a budget, the Old Centre is usually the best place to stay in Amsterdam. A hostel can cost you as little as $29, while a room at a hotel will set you back about $51. If you want to stay in a hipper area close to some of Amsterdam’s best attractions, check out hotels in Grachtengordel South. A room in this area will cost between $42 and $140 per night per person. For tourists who don’t want to be surrounded by other tourists when visiting Amsterdam from Bruges, there is The Jordaan. This area is pricier, with the cheapest rooms not usually costing less than $90.

Making our Holiday easy

“We used daytrip to take us from our Hotel in Amsterdam to the front door of our hotel in Bruges. And we used them again from Bruges to our hotel in Paris We were 6 people with 6 big pieces of luggage and carry on bags. This just made everything easy. No changing trains or dragging suitcases on cobble stones. The Drivers were friendly and the trip was fast and easy. we wish we had time to make a stop along the way to see some out of the way sites but we were on a tight schedule.”

Great Daytrip Experience Belgium and France

“Great experience using Daytrip twice in Europe. Trip 1 Amsterdam to Bruges. Trip 2 Bruges to Paris. On both occasions we had the same driver Philippe who made the journey interesting, extremely comfortable and timely. We had a lovely 1 hour stop in Antwerp for the Bruges journey and a small snack break in Somme for the Paris trip. We changed our pick up time for the Paris trip but this was not an issue as we had requested the change more than 48 hours prior to pick up. I would highly recommend Daytrip (if you are willing to pay the premium) and you want seamless door to door service. It is also convenient if you have a bit more luggage but still want to make short stops to see some new sites along the way.”
