HELP <BR>

Could you be more specific? We took the train. Try the Deutsch Bahn web site for times, etc. <BR>

I'll try again. I'll be in Amsterdam with Mom in May. I was thinking of a day trip to Bruges (BRUGGE?) Is it doable? Any recommendations for eats, sights, gifts Etc?? Thanks!

ok...have been from AMS to Brugges... <BR>what did you need to know?

It's easily doable. I've done Amsterdam as a daytrip from Brussels, which is close to the opposite of what you want to do.

Hiyoooo, <BR>Takes about 3+ hours on the train, changing at Antwerp, or longer via Brussels. About the same driving, longer if the awesome drawbridge over the Rhine (I guess) at Rotterdam is open - one of the engineering wonders of the world IMO. Gigundous underground parking garage at the edge of the old town. <BR> <BR>To buy? Well, chocolate of course. Also if you or relatives are Tintin fans (the Herge cartoon books), there's a fab Tintin shop near the main Square in Brugge. My spouse nearly made me cash in the plane tickets.

Thanks everyone! <BR>Can I get a train from Centraal Station? How much, how long, lot of walking? Thanks again!

THERE you are! lol <BR>I took the train from Amsterdam to Ghent, spent one night, then took train on to Brugge for one night. It IS possible to go from Amsterdam to Brugge, but personally, I prefered Ghent, and then Brugge, which is nice, is just a short distance away... <BR>Ghent has a castle in the middle of town which is really neat and lots of nice canals, etc. While Brugge is nice, seemed like there was more to do in Ghent. <BR>Gift-wise, there are some very nice lace pieces to be bought... and of course, belgian chocolates... <BR> <BR>PS...a neat restaurant in Ghent is The Ghost, right downtown on the canal...cool cellar restaurant...

Thanks for the info, I never thought of Ghent. Belgian chocolates yum! We will be there for seven days so Ghent and Brugge are definitely going to be included.
