You can, but there are two websites to find out the current price. One is
http://www.ns.nl and the other one is http://www.bahn.de They both won't give you a price information that's really reliable. The one thing I do quite often is take a ticket on a "last minute" basis from KLM (Royal Dutch Airlines) or Lufthansa, which usually costs less, and the flight lasts 50 minutes, instead of the eight hours (!) you'd spend on a train. |

Yes.
http://www.ns.nl and http://www.bahn.de Normal travel time by train is roughly 8 hrs and normal fare is around 120 EUR one-way. The cheapest method is by the special offer train ticket Schoene-Wochenende-Ticket (=SWE) and costs a bit over 33 EUR one-way. Essentially you take any train to the German border very early in the morning of a Saturday or Sunday and then use regional trains to get from the German border to Berlin. You need to work out a schedule beforehand using bahn.de. Select "only regional trains" or "without EC/IC/ICE" to find workable train connections from the German border. Travel time is roughly 14 hrs with this method. The advantage is that up to 5 people can travel on SWE together for the same 33 EUR, so the price cannot be beaten when you are in a group. You'll also often find people in train stations looking for partners to share a SWE ticket with for a small fee, so you can save money this way too. Alternatively there are bus and plane. http://www.eurolines.com http://www.skyscanner.net |

yes, I do that twice a month.
the international train leaves Amsterdam airport Schiphol 1 time per day (10:48) and from central station 4 times a day (7:04,10:57,14:57 and 16:57) its 6:08 minutes journey in a comfortable train with a bistro but no smoking. have a nice trip costs: one way ticket is 70 € but if you book more than 3 days in advance you safe up to 40%. |
