Book Train Travel from Netherlands to Luxembourg at NSInternational.nl
Travelling to Luxembourg by train is easiest via the Dutch railway company NS (Nederlandse Spoorwegen). This article will guide you through selecting an appropriate ticket, purchasing it, getting to the right station and traveling along the tracks into the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
Steps
- Use their website: https://www.nsinternational.nl/en. It sometimes has technical issues, so when it is down, just phone them up: +31 302 331 676. You can ask to speak to someone who speak your language if you don't speak Nederlands
- The website above replaces two old websites: The international bit of the regular site of the company, and the website especially for hi-speed trains (Thalys, Eurostar, TGV, ICE)
- Don't be surprised if the website and the phone line come up with totally different alternatives for your journey.
- Also look at the websites (and phone lines) of the railway companies in adjacent countries. There are a lot of cross-border rail links everywhere in Europe and the Schengen-treaty allows unchecked travel throughout most of Europe, once you've entered the region legally. This causes the national railway companies to compete with each other internationally,so you might find better deals when using an other train provider.
- Belgium: https://www.b-europe.com/Travel. Brussels is a hub of international railway lines, regular and hi-speed.
- France: http://en.voyages-sncf.com/en/. France invented hi-speed trains and has very good links with other European countries.
- Germany: http://www.bahn.de/i/view/overseas/en/index.shtml. Germany's ICE's bring you deep into Europe, also eastwards.
- Luxembourg: http://www.cfl.lu/en. The smallest country in western Europe does offer international rail links, but you have to look for them on their site.
