Amsterdam, Luxembourg & Brussels

Seven-day rail loop from London through Amsterdam, Luxembourg, and Brussels

Illustration of Amsterdam, Luxembourg & Brussels

Tailor Made Rail's seven-day Amsterdam, Luxembourg and Brussels journey offers an independent, train-centred European escape from London. Beginning with a direct Eurostar service to Amsterdam Centraal, the itinerary unfolds across three capitals, each with two full nights. Amsterdam's 2 nights allow time to explore the Anne Frank House, the Rijksmuseum, or the Van Gogh Museum, or to take a canal cruise or hire a bicycle. A regional train via Maastricht and Liege carries you to Luxembourg City, a hilltop capital set above gorges carved by the Alzette and Petrusse rivers, with a free day to wander the UNESCO-listed Old Town and sample Michelin-starred dining. Finally, a direct train reaches Brussels for 2 nights in a central hotel near the Grand Place, with an optional day trip by train to the medieval towns of Ghent and Bruges. The itinerary is unguided; you receive straightforward travel documentation and email ticket despatch. Accommodation comprises three handpicked 3-star hotels with breakfast included, all centrally positioned for easy city exploration.
