Getting from Amsterdam to Lille is easy! On this train journey, you just need to change trains once, at Brussels (Midi/Zuid) station, after your arrival there from Amsterdam.
This journey of over 300 km from Netherlands to France takes just over 2:37 on high-speed trains. And as an added bonus, you’ll arrive in the city centre!
The first leg of your journey will take you from the central station in Amsterdam to Brussels (Midi/Zuid) station. This service runs several times a day with high-speed Eurostar or InterCity trains.
At Brussels (Midi/Zuid) station, board the Eurostar or TGV INOUI trains to Lille. All you have to do is change platforms after your arrival from Amsterdam. Very easy!
There are around 8 direct trains from Brussels to Lille on weekdays. They’ll take you to Lille Europe train station in around 35 minutes. One of 2 major railway stations in the city, Lille Europe is an international hub for Eurostar and TGV INOUI, so if your journey’s taking you further into France, this is the ideal starting point to do so.
Due to planned engineering works, most of the InterCity Netherlands trains (Brussels-Amsterdam) will terminate in Rotterdam on Saturday 26 October and Sunday 27 October 2024.
Passengers to Schiphol-Airport and Amsterdam can change trains in Breda or Rotterdam and use NS trains (Dutch Railways) to their final destination with their current ticket.
In the opposite direction, passengers from Amsterdam Central and Schiphol-Airport can use other trains to Rotterdam or Breda, where they can board on the Intercity train to Brussels.
Please check the adapted schedules for your journey a few days before travel.
Due to planned engineering works on the Dutch rail network, InterCity Netherlands trains will be diverted to an alternative route between Rotterdam and Amsterdam from Saturday 16 to Sunday 1 December 2024 inclusive. As a consequence, they will not call at Schiphol-Airport and the travel time will be slightly adjusted.
Passengers to Schiphol-Airport can change trains in Rotterdam and make use of other NS (Dutch railway) operated trains to Schiphol-Airport.
