Travel straight to Brussels from Amsterdam by train

Getting to Brussels from Amsterdam by train has never been easier. Take advantage of the direct Thalys or InterCity trains and you’ll be at the heart of Europe’s capital in less than 2 hours.

Get to Brussels from Amsterdam with Thalys and IC

Your journey starts on board Thalys or InterCity trains from Amsterdam Central Station. Both will get you to Brussels (Zuid/Midi) train station. The high-speed Thalys trains run this route in 1:50, while the journey takes 3 hours on conventional InterCity trains, which do offer you higher flexibility.

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!
