Train times/distance?

Does anyone know of a website that would tell you how many hours it would take to travel between destinations? For example, from Amsterdam to Berlin? I can't seem to find this on the train website.<BR><BR>Thanks for you help.

Dell,<BR><BR>The best one I have ever found is http://mercurio.iet.unipi.it/misc/timetabl.html. It has all timetables for all of Europe, but just use the Swiss SBB, that is the most user friendly. If you have any problems let me know and I would be happy to help.<BR><BR>Greg<BR>

For most major routes, www.raileurope.com gives clear concise information. But they do not have good prices for actually buying tickets before you travel to Europe.<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

Dell,<BR><BR>I looked up Ams to Berlin on that Website I suggested and the real answer is that it depends. If you take a NT it would take between 10 - 12 hours and cover many more KM than taking the train during the day. A day trip could take as little as 6 hours, depending on when you traveled. Hope this helps. Happy planning.<BR><BR>Greg<BR>

Thank you everyone. I hope to go to Amsterdam again in Feb. Last year we took a quick day trip to Brusells and it was fun. We were there for 6 hours and we got to experience a lot of things, (drink Belgium beer, visit the "Pissing Boy" had some waffles, etc. I'm just wondering what a good day trip would be. Any ideas?<BR><BR>Thanks

Sorry, didn't notice you were looking for train distances. ViaMichelin is for driving.
