Lille to Amsterdam by Train
We like this route. Of course, we like all the routes in this book, but we especially like this one. It’s short and sweet, taking in a feast of fine cities as well as, especially in the early stages, some engaging rustic landscapes. It’s not a route where you need ever bother about advance booking and, if you are travelling with a Eurail or Interrail pass, there are no supplements to pay on any trains you’ll use in taking this journey.
