Amsterdam to Dusseldorf Route Overview

The Amsterdam to Dusseldorf route links the Dutch Randstad with Germany's Rhine-Ruhr region without an airport transfer at either end. After Arnhem, the train crosses the Dutch-German border near Emmerich and continues through the lower Rhine industrial and river corridor before reaching Duisburg and Dusseldorf. Seat reservations on ICE International are optional on most services, but they are worth adding on Friday afternoons, Sunday evenings, and during Messe Dusseldorf events. This route is useful for business travelers because Dusseldorf Hbf has direct S-Bahn and U-Bahn links to the Altstadt, the airport, and the exhibition grounds.

Practical Information for ICE Travelers

ICE International luggage rules are based on items passengers can carry and stow themselves. There is no checked baggage service on the Amsterdam to Dusseldorf train.

Luggage Allowance

DB does not set a strict checked-style weight limit on ICE International, but each passenger should bring only luggage they can carry and place without help. Common guidance is one larger suitcase plus hand luggage; items around 70 x 50 x 30 cm fit the usual luggage areas more easily.

Storage Facilities

ICE trains have overhead racks for small bags, luggage shelves near the coach entrances, and space between some back-to-back seats. Keep passports, wallets, laptops, and rail tickets with you rather than leaving them in large luggage areas.

Special Items

Folding bicycles are allowed when folded and packed as luggage. Full-size bicycles require a train and carriage type that accepts bike reservations, which is not available on many ICE International services. Skis, snowboards, and musical instruments must be packed and stored without blocking aisles or doors.

The Amsterdam to Dusseldorf train runs from Amsterdam Centraal to Dusseldorf Hbf, placing travelers close to both city centers. Long-distance buses usually take longer because they use motorway corridors and bus terminals outside the rail platforms. Flights are not practical for this short route because airport transfers, security, boarding, and baggage processes add more time than the airborne sector saves. Rail also has a lower carbon impact than flying on this cross-border corridor.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
