Paris, Ghent, Amsterdam: 3 countries on one train line

Paris, Ghent, Amsterdam: 3 countries, 6 nights, one train line 🚆 Ghent is the stop almost nobody makes, and the one I'd give the extra night. 🚆 Paris to Brussels-Midi: 1 h 22 🚆 Brussels-Midi to Ghent: about 28 minutes, twice an hour 🚆 Brussels to Amsterdam: about 1 h 55 🚆 Amsterdam back to Paris: 3 h 20, direct Paris, days 1 to 2 In and out of Gare du Nord. Walk the Seine bridge to bridge, then Montmartre for the view Ghent, days 3 to 4 Gravensteen castle, the guild houses on the Graslei and Korenlei, the Ghent Altarpiece at St Bavo's Amsterdam, days 5 to 6 The canal ring, the Jordaan, and the Night Watch at the Rijksmuseum Book the Eurostar legs early. Tickets open about 4 months ahead, and Paris to Amsterdam runs from €35 booked early against €149 flexible on the day. Inside Belgium the fare is fixed, €17.60 from Brussels to Ghent, so buy that one on the day. 👉 Swipe for the route, the changes at Brussels and when to book. Save this for your trip and send it to who you'd go with. Would you give Ghent two nights or one? 👇 📷 Káplár Bálint Áron, Amelia Cui, Eduard Delputte, Adrien Olichon, Yovan Verma, Svetlana Gumerova, Geert Willemarck, Gaurav Jain, Clarisa Ravasotti / Unsplash
