International trains connect the Netherlands with the rest of Europe — from Amsterdam you can reach a lot of major foreign cities by train. These services offer a comfortable and often more sustainable alternative to flying.

One of the main services is Eurostar, which links Amsterdam with cities such as London, Brussels and Paris. You can check schedules and buy tickets on the Eurostar website. Eurostar International
Another option is Nightjet (operated by ÖBB), a night train connecting Amsterdam with places like Zürich and Basel (and via connections further into the Alps). You can find and book tickets for Nightjet trips online. Nightjet NS International
For connections to Germany (and onward through Europe), there are high-speed and regular cross-border services (for example via combinations of domestic trains + international trains) that you can inspect for ticket booking via various services including those of national rail providers.

Together, these train services form a strong European network that makes traveling by train easy, efficient and often more relaxed than flying — especially if you want to travel from city-centre to city-centre.
