Trains from Berlin to Amsterdam

Westward out of Berlin, the train runs across Brandenburg and Lower Saxony, crosses into the Netherlands and ends in Amsterdam, a city built on water where the station itself stands on the harbour. The route links Germany's capital with the Dutch capital and suits travellers who want to arrive in the centre with no airport transfer to arrange. Set a date and the number of travellers below for the live times and fares on that day.

About the Berlin to Amsterdam train

Berlin Hauptbahnhof, by the Spree in the government quarter, is where the journey begins. Think about whether you want the Amsterdam to Berlin return in the same booking: AI Concierge covers it on its own page, and fares move with the date, so each leg deserves its own search. The border crossing itself needs nothing more than the ID the rail operator asks for. Amsterdam Centraal sits on the IJ with the old city fanning out in front of it: the Damrak running to Dam Square, the canal ring beyond, the Jordaan to the west and the museum quarter further south. The city is small enough to cross on foot or by bicycle, and trams leave from the square outside the station. Schiphol airport lies to the south-west; the hotels on this page show how far each is from it, which matters if the trip ends with a flight. The Netherlands eSIM plans linked here cover data after you are over the border, and Where to stay in Amsterdam gives a sample of the hotels in the catalogue.
