The city’s crisscrossing canals and cobblestone streets have seen many seafaring traders since the 9th century and retain a lively and invigorating atmosphere reminiscent of one of Jan van Eyck's 15th-century masterpieces.

An impressive finish in Amsterdam awaits. With over 6,800 historical buildings and an endless array of canals and bridges, Amsterdam is truly a sight to see (along with Rembrandt's famous Nightwatch on display in the Rijksmuseum).

The train departs every hour and the ride takes about 1 hour and 50 minutes - cost around €20 per person. The ride requires one connection.

Remarks
Due to variations in wifi signal strength and speed, If you are dependent on a constant, strong, fast, and reliable signal at all times, please consider a a personal hot spot.
Important to know
Documents:
Before you travel, please check the passport and visa requirements of the country/countries you plan to visit. Please be informed that it is your responsibility to ensure that you have proper identification. For US citizens, the U.S. Passports & International Travel website is a good source of information. The Country Information tab provides details about passport validity, blank passport pages required, etc. It is important to research before you travel as airlines will not permit boarding if you do not have the required valid documents.
*Important note: Please check on the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) status as once implemented, this will be required to visit any of the 26 Schengen-member countries for tourism, business, medical, or transit. This is an additional check on security rather than a visa.
Extra Stay
If you would like to book extra days in Amsterdam, Bruges, or elsewhere in Holland or Europe, we advise Booking.com for researching and reserving your extra nights. You can read a detailed description of the hotels offered including a clear listing of amenities, but more importantly, you can view customer reviews and ratings..
