A journey by train is more relaxing than by coach, but a lot more expensive. When you go by train, buy your ticket a long time before you travel. It’s usually cheaper. You can go by car and by ship across the North Sea. This is the most comfortable way to travel but also the most expensive. Book your ticket before you book your hotel. Remember that parking in Amsterdam is very expensive, so stay outside the city centre and travel in by bus or train.The third choice is by coach. This is usually the cheapest, but in summer, the coaches sometimes get crowded! And it takes you about twelve hours to get there.
However, it will not cost as much as going by train.Finally, you can fly. It’s the fastest and the second cheapest, but you may have to wait for hours at the airport because of bad weather.
Well, I hope this helps! Have a great trip!
