Take the train from Amsterdam to Berlin

Taking the train from Amsterdam to Berlin has never been so easy. Travel by rail and you’ll go straight from city centre to city centre – avoiding all the negatives of flying, like transfer times and waiting around after checking in. Instead, sit back and relax in NS or Deutsche Bahn’s spacious comfortable seats and use the WiFi to work or keep yourself entertained while on the go. You can also grab a meal in the dining carriage if hunger strikes, or, bump yourself up to First Class for an added level of luxury with complimentary food and drinks served right to you!

Most trains serving this route require you to change at least once, though your transfer time will usually be fairly short – 15 minutes or so. Look out for the early morning direct DB service, which will get you into Berlin at around 15:00, perfect for a spot of site seeing and dinner.

Once you’re at Berlin Hbf station, the city will be at your fingertips. The Reichstag Building – home to Germany’s Parliament – is 15 minutes away on foot. Continue in the same direction to get to the Brandenburg Gate, an impressive remnant of Germany’s imperial past.

Book in advance

Most of the train companies across Europe release their tickets around three to six months in advance, many of which can be cheaper the earlier you book. If you know the dates you want to travel, you may be able to find some cheaper train tickets from Amsterdam to Berlin by booking early.§

Be flexible with your travel times

Many of the train services in Europe are also popular commuter services, lots of train companies increase ticket prices during “peak hours” (generally between 06:00 – 10:00 and 15:00 – 19:00 on weekdays). If you can, consider travelling outside of peak hours to find lower priced tickets.

Choose a slower or connecting train

On some of the busier routes, you might also have the option to take a slower or connecting train. It may take a little longer than some high-speed or direct services, but if you have a little extra time on your hands, you might find a cheaper fare. Plus, you'll have more time to enjoy the view of the countryside!

Look out for special deals

Take a look at our handy guides to find out when train operators release their special deals and offers to see if you can find cheap European train tickets for your journey.

For specific information about how to get your hands on cheap tickets, check out our European train tickets hub.

§Some train companies may not offer any Advance ticket types or cheaper deals for early bookings. On rare occasions, train companies may choose to release special offers closer to the date on last-minute or late-release tickets. This is dependent on the individual train operating company you travel with.
