Are you planning a trip from Amsterdam to Paris but are having trouble sifting through your options to decide whether to travel by train, plane or car? Amsterdam is around 260 miles from Paris (straightline distance), which means that if you can afford the time, taking the train or renting a car can offer a more picturesque, and potentially more relaxing and enjoyable, way of traveling. With high-speed Thalys trains servicing Paris from Amsterdam daily in under four hours, I highly recommend this mode of transport.
Trains
You can get to Paris from central Amsterdam in roughly 3.5 hours via the Thalys train network, which usually makes several stops along this route, including Brussels.
Thalys trains arrive in central Paris at the Gare du Nord station, making this a stress-free option. First-class tickets are usually not much more expensive than economy and include full meal and drink service.

Flights
International carriers including KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, British Airways and Air France offer daily flights from Amsterdam Schipol Airport to Roissy-Charles de Gaulle Airport and Orly Airport. Flights to Beauvais Airport located in the far outskirts of Paris may to be a cheaper option, but you'll need to plan on at least an extra hour and fifteen minutes to get to central Paris.Find more deals on flights from Amsterdam to Paris at Expedia:(Buy direct)
Get There by Car
It can take nine hours or more to get to Paris by car, but it can be an enjoyable way to see northern Europe. Expect to pay toll fees at several points throughout the trip, though.Book a rental car direct via Hertz
