6-day rail trip: Paris to Amsterdam by high-speed train

Illustration of Paris and Amsterdam

Railbookers runs Paris and Amsterdam, a 6-day, 5-night rail vacation between two European capitals. Two nights in Paris open the trip, with an evening at an authentic Parisian bistro and a day of sightseeing that includes Eiffel Tower tickets with summit access and visits to the Arc de Triomphe and Notre Dame Cathedral. A high-speed train then carries the journey from the center of Paris to the center of Amsterdam for three nights. In Amsterdam, a 2-day hop-on hop-off bus and boat pass covers the city's architecture and shopping districts, and the final full day is described as independent sightseeing, with time to visit museums, walk through Vondelpark, or explore the Amsterdamse Bos forest. The trip suits travelers who want two contrasting European capitals covered by a single direct train, with structured sightseeing in Paris balanced by more open, self-directed days in Amsterdam.

What to know before you look closer

  • The Day 5 description in the evidence is cut off mid-sentence, so some Amsterdam sightseeing detail beyond what's quoted here is not confirmed.
