london, brussels, amsterdam

Hi There

I am wanting to travel from London, to Brussels, Brigge, and then onto Amsterdam.

Can anyone advise me on which method of travel is most convenient, and which order I would be best to do Brussels and Brugge. Also, I am wanting to make it to Amsterdam for 23 or 24 December- will transport be limited and a hassel at on these dates, due to christmas?

Thanks!!

Since you want to visit Brussels I would advise you to take the Eurostar to Brussels which means you can include the cost of onward travel to Brugge for free (ABS = Any Belgian Station) and stay for up to 24 hrs in Brussels on the way there and/or on the way back.

Once in Belgium (there is no advantage in buying it in advance), you can buy a separate InterCity ticket from Brugge to Amsterdam, which will require changing at Antwerp, and another for Amsterdam-Brussels, where you will transfer (at Gare du Midi) onto Eurostar back to London.

There is an alternative route to Brugge via Lille (where you have to change from Lille-Europe to Lille-Flandres from which you can reach Brugge via Kortrijk) but ABS only applies to tickets to Brussels.

Check out www.eurostar.com and for Brugge-Amsterdam, http://www.b-rail.be/int/E/
