The train ride from Duisburg to Amsterdam was really comfortable. After a long time, we finally wanted to visit Amsterdam again. We had an older train, but it still had the beautiful old seats. They were really comfortable and made the journey really enjoyable. The on-board staff were really, really nice and the food was delicious. The price-performance ratio was really great and travelling by train is better for the environment anyway.
