Trains from Paris to Amsterdam
Canals, gabled houses and bicycles: Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands, and the train from Paris reaches it by crossing the flat farmland of northern France and Belgium and then the polders of the southern Netherlands. It links the capitals of France and the Netherlands, used for business, for museum visits in both cities, and by travellers who want to leave the airport out of it. The arrival at Centraal is on the waterfront at the northern edge of the old city.

About the Paris to Amsterdam train
Paris has several terminus stations, each pointing at a different side of the country, and the search tells you which this train leaves from; check it before you head out. When and for how many go in before anything else, and the results belong to that day alone. Amsterdam to Paris, the return, is covered on this site too. Borders are crossed, so travel with the ID the operator asks for and check the Netherlands' entry rules for your passport in advance. Amsterdam Centraal faces the old city across a square of trams and bicycles, with the canal rings curving away to the south. The Jordaan is to the west, the Museumplein with the big galleries to the south past the Leidseplein, and the ferries to the north side of the IJ leave from behind the station. Almost everything in the centre is reachable on foot or by tram. Amsterdam's hotel sample here is from the catalogue, with the search giving the full list. Stay inside the canal ring to be among the sights, or near Centraal for an onward train.
