Getting to Brussels from Amsterdam by train has never been easier. Take advantage of the direct Eurostar or Eurocity Direct trains and you’ll be at the heart of Europe’s capital in less than 2 hours.
Your journey starts on board Eurostar trains from Amsterdam Central Station or Eurocity Direct trains from Amsterdam Zuid Station. Both will get you to Brussels (Zuid/Midi) train station. The high-speed Eurostar trains run this route in 1:50. The journey takes a bit less than 2 hours on Eurocity Direct trains.
Upon your arrival, you’ll find a wide range of public transport lines (tram, metro, bus or even train) on offer, so you can start your visit to Brussels with ease. If you’re up for it, you can even rent a bicycle and head to Grand Place, Manneken Pis and the city’s many other tourist attractions!
Update: 24/01, 3pm
Due to announced strike, fewer trains will be operating on the Belgian rail network from Sunday 25 January (10 pm - CET) to Friday 30 January 2026 included.
An alternative train service will be drawn up based on available train staff. All details on this alternative train service will be available 24h in advance on www.belgiantrain.be.
Please take this alternative train service into account if you need to take a domestic connection in Belgium before or after an international train journey, or if you need to take our regional trains just across the border (Roosendaal, Maastricht, Aachen, Luxembourg, Lille or Maubeuge).
