Netherlands & Germany (Amsterdam to Berlin)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The Amsterdam to Berlin route is one of Europe's most popular multi-country road and rail corridors, linking two of the continent's most iconic cities across the Netherlands and Germany. Amsterdam is celebrated for its historic canal ring, world-class museums like the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum, and its famously liberal, bike-friendly culture. Berlin, Germany's reunified capital, draws travellers with its layered 20th-century history, thriving arts and music scene, street art, and legendary nightlife. The journey between them — often stopping through cities like Utrecht, Cologne, or Düsseldorf — offers a rich blend of Dutch and German culture, architecture, and cuisine.

Amsterdam to Berlin by Land & Water: A Self-Launched Dutch-German Journey

A self-launched 12-day version of CroisiEurope's Amsterdam–Berlin river cruise, swapping ship cabins for hostels and guesthouses and the onboard coach for Dutch and German trains, buses and a couple of lovely ferry hops. You'll trace the same route — Amsterdam, the IJsselmeer ports of Hoorn and Lemmer, the Ems and Küsten Canal country around Oldenburg and Bremen, the Weser towns of Nienburg and Minden, Hanover and Wolfsburg, Magdeburg on the Elbe, and finally Potsdam and Berlin — but at your own pace, with the freedom to linger where you like. Expect a mix of charming Hanseatic towns, waterside cycling, WWII and Cold War history, and big-city culture. Costs are approximate backpacker/mid-budget rates per person, excluding international flights.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
