I’m intending to write a number of travel blogs in the next few days about my recent trip to The Netherlands. I stayed in Amsterdam, close to the central railway station, and caught the train to The Hague, Rotterdam, Zutphen, Utrecht, Den Bosch, Delft, Gouda, Zwolle, and Arnhem.

I used the Nederlandse Spoorwegen app to book the tickets and it worked really well. The trains were excellent including the double-decker intercity trains and I made all my connections. There’s no need to drive when the trains work this well and the stations were about 10 minutes at the most from the centre of the town / city.
