Munich and Berlin to Amsterdam

Independent rail trip from Munich through Berlin to Amsterdam

Illustration of Munich and Berlin to Amsterdam

Railbookers operates this independent rail vacation, a 5-day, 4-night trip that runs from Munich to Amsterdam by way of Berlin. Two nights in Munich open with a stroll around the Old Town and a Bavarian beer and food evening, followed by a day trip to Linderhof Palace, the former hunting lodge of King Ludwig II, and the fairytale Neuschwanstein Castle. A high-speed ICE train then continues to Berlin for two nights, where a small-group guided walking tour covers the city's main sights and a photo stop at Checkpoint Charlie. The trip closes with a direct train from Berlin to Amsterdam, though the package does not include a hotel night in Amsterdam itself, only the four nights in Munich and Berlin. The description notes this journey works well as an extension to a river cruise from Amsterdam. It suits travelers who want a short, castle-and-capital introduction to Germany with a rail connection onward to the Netherlands.
