Brussels to A'dam via train, advice please?

HighJackerrr · Post by **HighJackerrr** » Mon 7th Sep 2009 11:08 am

Will be flying in to Brussels on 25 Sept, heading directly to Amsterdam.

Is there a train directly from the Brussels airport to Amsterdam C.S.? If not, can anyone offer advice on the most direct way....which station to go to from the Brussels airport which will take me most directly to A'dam? Any idea of the cost?

Lastly, should I purchase tix in advice (online) or just walk up and purchase once I am there?

Thank you!

Thank you!

Would you suggest purchasing the tickets once I have arrived in Brussels? Also, take the train from the airport to Brussels Zuid or central (to go to Amsterdam the quickest?)

I took the train from Bruxelles to Amsterdam twice last summer, around a 2 hour train ride if I remember correctly, book your ticket at the station or in advance, you should have no trouble getting a seat, the train is quite frequent

See you all in A'dam in 2 weeks!

Thankyou Kingdoc, i have heard that there are more prostitutes in Antwerp than amsterdam is this true ?
I am more interested in the night life clubs, hoe's, etc

They are defo more whores in Antwerp than Amsterdam, and they have good hash there coz of the big moroccan community, but no weed..., if you in Antwerp and look for smoke, just try to find moroccan teahouse, go in, ask for a mint tea, then ask for hashish, If you are american and someone asks where you come from , say you irish...
