Amsterdam is a top must-visit destination for millions of travellers. Whether you’re going for the stunning architecture and exciting museums or the thrill of its electric nightlife, there’s so much to do and it’s no wonder that it’s at the top of many traveller bucket lists.
For those in the North East, there are two main routes to get to Amsterdam and both have their pros and cons. Just a trip across the sea, the DFDS ferry departs once a day from Newcastle’s Port of Tyne to Amsterdam, while KLM operates up to four flights a day from Newcastle Airport, with flights leaving every day of the week.
Flying, obviously, takes less time and gets you into Amsterdam in around an hour and 20 minutes. However, flying isn’t for everyone and sometimes, big savings can be made by opting for the ferry instead.
