Just_Arrived_HereQuick question.
I am trying to get from Brussels up to the North of the Netherlands to visit my mother.
I was hoping to keep the trip under 25 euros but FlixBus prices have jumped to 16-20 euros lately.
I remember cheap train options being available before but I cannot find anything affordable now, so what is the cheapest way to travel between Amsterdam and Brussels?
Accepted answer
euro_tripperUse FlixBus or BlaBlaCar Bus if you book early enough because you can find tickets for under 10 euros sometimes, just dont bother with Eurostar unless you want to pay way more just to save an hour or so since the Eurocity Direct is a better middle ground for price and speed, honestly if you want to pay less than what the buses charge now you might as well just hitchhike or bike it
cheers
old_guard_vla2Make sure you buy your tickets through the official railway apps or websites directly, I have seen people lose money by using third-party resellers that charge extra for the same seat. A total waste of cash.
Best,
NotSoSure_92It's being looked at the wrong way ! For real savings you have to walk or bike or hitchhike because everything else is getting too pricey !
expats_eyei went to antwerp by bike last month and then caught a flixbus from there to save on the train fare near the border it worked pretty well for me
cocoa_lover_ukThe EuroCity direct train is usually the best way to go for most people!
