Amsterdam: bus destinations and tickets

Where to travel from Amsterdam

Start with these route pages: Amsterdam — Berlin, Amsterdam — Bratislava, Amsterdam — Brno, Amsterdam — Budapest, Amsterdam — Cherkasy, Amsterdam — Chernihiv. Open your chosen route, enter the date and passenger count, and compare the departures found. If your departure day is flexible, check nearby dates under the same search conditions.

Plan the bus journey from Amsterdam around your meeting, work, holiday or onward travel. Check the destination and date carefully. If another leg follows the bus, compare the stop addresses and leave time between separately booked journeys.

Comparing fares and journey times

First enter your travel date and all passengers: the prices and departure options relate to those search conditions. Compare the fares shown, then check the final amount during booking. Look at luggage conditions and any additional services; a low starting price alone does not determine how convenient the whole journey will be.

To find the fastest option, compare the stated durations of the services found. Also check the departure time, arrival date and whether a change is required. For international travel, leave a margin before onward transport or an important meeting: the actual arrival may differ from the timetable.

Passenger details and ticket conditions

For extra luggage or particular requirements, clarify the arrangements and any cost before paying. Keep the passenger details consistent with the documents required for the selected journey.

Read the refund and change rules for the particular offer you select. If your plans may change, take those conditions into account when comparing options. After booking, save the ticket and boarding information where you can quickly find them during the journey.

Preparing for your boarding stop

Travelling as a group? Agree on the precise boarding point and share the journey details with everyone. Allow time for children and luggage rather than planning only for one person’s usual walk.

If you are arriving in Amsterdam on another transport service, plan the journey from your arrival point to your boarding stop. Allow time to get off, collect your belongings, travel across the city and find the bus. For an early departure or late arrival, work out in advance how to get there with your luggage.

Planning your arrival and return journey

Check the drop-off address and arrival date, especially when the bus arrives after midnight. Give anyone meeting you the stop for your particular service, or plan the journey to your hotel, home or onward transport.

If continuing with a separately purchased ticket, leave time between arrival and your next departure. For the return to Amsterdam, check the reverse route for your date: times, stops and conditions may differ from the outward journey.
