Traveling to Holland

Holland is well connected to the European hi-speed train network. Various modern and ultrafast trains depart several times a day from cities like Paris, Brussels, Cologne, Berlin and London.

Traveling through Holland

Traveling through The Netherlands by train is fast, comfortable and very affordable. Holland has a dense, efficient railway network with modern, fast trains that interconnect cities several times an hour. Trains reach many cities, towns and villages. Another advantage: you'll always get off the train in the center of the town. So there's no need to look at your map too much: you're always near the museums and the historic sites you want to visit.

Short distances

Fast trains in combination with short distances make for short traveling time. For example: a train ride from Amsterdam to Utrecht, leaving at least every 15 minutes, takes only 30 minutes and getting to Amsterdam from Schiphol Airport (at least every 15 minutes) only 16 minutes. Do you want to make a trip from Amsterdam to The Hague? Within 45 minutes you'll get off the train right in the city center!

Cost efficient

If you wish to travel by train, there are numerous sorts of tickets you can purchase. Besides the One Way and Day Returns (Enkele reis en Dagretour), the Netherlands Railways offers various possibilities for discounted traveling.
A Day Ticket allows you unlimited travel around the country for one day, the OV Day Ticket is valid for bus, trams and metro as well. The Weekend Retour has the same price as a Day Return, except that it is valid from Friday 07.00 pm to Monday 04.00 am.
