Amsterdam 🇳🇱 Schiphol to Brussels 🇧🇪 by Train | Europe Travel Vlog 2025

Our first full day in Europe 2025 begins in Amsterdam Schiphol Airport 🇳🇱, where we stored our backpacks, picked up the Amsterdam Travel Ticket for trains, trams, and buses, and headed into the city. With just a few hours before our next train, we squeezed in sightseeing at Amsterdam Central Station, Dam Square, the canals, and even the A’DAM Tower before catching our connection.

By afternoon, we boarded the Eurostar train from Amsterdam to Brussels Midi Station 🇧🇪, checked into the MEININGER Brussels City Center Hostel/Hotel, and sampled local Belgian food — mussels, fries, burgers, and beer 🍺. We wrapped up the night on a free Brussels walking tour, exploring the city’s dark history, medieval squares, and hidden alleys.

This is Day 1 of our 14-day, 7-country backpacking trip through Europe 2025 — come along with us as our adventure begins!
