[H2] Trains from Amsterdam to Berlin
If you want to travel with the Amsterdam Berlin train, it’s good to know that there are several routes used. Since Amsterdam is located in the west of the Netherlands, the train has to travel through part of the Netherlands before crossing the border.

This means that you may have to first take the intercity train to Utrecht Central or Hilversum and then, possibly via Hengelo or Amersfoort, take the German DPN train. It may also be that you travel via Eindhoven Central to Venlo and then take the DPN towards Düsseldorf.

10 Ways to Save Money | Get Even More Savings

[IMG: Mother with child looking at air balloons]

Train travel with kids can truly be a magical experience, where both parents and children can relax and enjoy the journey. And here’s the best part: it doesn’t have to cost a fortune.
With a bit of planning, you can save money while ensuring a comfortable ride for your little ones. From early booking discounts to services like Split My Fare, where you can share ticket costs with other travellers, there are several tricks to make your family’s train travel both affordable and enjoyable.
Let’s see how you can turn your next train journey into an unforgettable family adventure without breaking the bank.

[H2] 10 Ways to Save Money on Train Journeys with Kids
With all the comfort and benefits that train travel offers, it’s a great way to travel with your kids. Let’s dive into some easy tips to help you save money and enjoy a stress-free trip.
[H3] 1. Book Early for the Best Prices
As you plan your family getaway, one of the best ways to save money is by booking your tickets in advance. If you book your tickets early, you can relax knowing you’ve avoided the high prices that usually come with last-minute bookings. The sooner you make your reservation, the better the prices you’ll find.
Booking early not only guarantees you a seat but also opens up the door to early bird discounts. For families, this is a game changer. Train companies often offer discounted rates for tickets booked well in advance, meaning you can save money for that fun activity you’ve been eyeing at your destination. Don’t wait—grab those tickets and ensure your family travels at a fraction of the cost.
[H3] 2. Use Fare Splitter Services to Save Even More
Let’s say you’re a family of four, or maybe you’re travelling with friends or extended family. Normally, each person would buy their own ticket, which can quickly add up. That’s where fare-splitting services come in. Instead of paying for individual tickets, you can share the cost of a single ticket.
Here’s how it works: You book your tickets through a fare-splitting service, which allows you to divide the total fare between all passengers in your group. This means, for example, that a family of four could split the cost of a single journey, making it much more affordable for everyone.
It’s like sharing a carpool—except you’re enjoying the spacious, comfortable setting of a train rather than a cramped car. The result? Significant savings while travelling together. It’s a win-win!
[H3] 3. Look for Family-Friendly Train Discounts and Offers
When you’re travelling with kids, the discounts offered by train companies can be a huge relief. In fact, many operators in the UK have great deals for families, where kids travel for free or at a very reduced rate. For example, a family ticket could allow two adults to bring up to four children for a fraction of the regular price.
Beyond just regular deals, consider investing in a Family and Friends Railcard, which gives families up to 33% off adult fares and 60% off for children. Imagine having that extra money to spend on a nice meal once you arrive at your destination!
Train operators often offer seasonal promotions around holidays, half-terms, and long weekends. By planning ahead and signing up for email newsletters and fare alerts, you can stay updated on the latest deals, ensuring your family trip remains affordable.
[H3] 4. Make the Most of Flexible Ticketing
Life with kids often means that plans may change at the last minute. One minute, everything is going as scheduled, and the next, you’re running late or need to change your travel times. Flexible tickets can be a lifesaver in these situations.
Flexible tickets allow you to change your journey times without penalties. If you miss your train, you’re not stuck with expensive rebooking fees. The added flexibility can make your trip more relaxing, knowing that you won’t have to worry about last-minute changes.

[IMG: Dad with two children on train platform]

Travel by train

[H3] 5. Prefer Travelling Off-Peak
Another way to save money is by choosing to travel during off-peak hours. If you avoid the rush hours, you may have a sigh of relief seeing your kids settled into their seats. You can stretch out without fighting for space with other passengers. Off-peak tickets are generally much cheaper than peak-time fares, and the train is less crowded, making the journey more comfortable.
[H3] 6. Train Fare Comparison Tools
Before booking, it’s always a good idea to compare prices across different platforms. Fare comparison websites help you find the best deals by comparing tickets from various operators. These tools ensure you’re getting the lowest possible price for your family’s train journey, saving you valuable time and money.

[H3] 7. Pack Smart and Avoid Extra Charges for Baggage and Seat Reservations
Some trains charge for luggage or seat reservations. Be mindful of this when booking your tickets. You can avoid extra baggage fees by travelling light or choosing a service that doesn’t charge for luggage. Additionally, consider if reserving a seat is necessary, especially if you are travelling off-peak, where you can simply sit anywhere.
[H3] 8. Save Money by Bringing Your Own Snacks and Drinks
While train journeys are often more affordable than flying, food on trains can be a little pricey. So, why not bring your own snacks and drinks? Think of it as a mini picnic on the go. Bringing snacks like sandwiches, fruit, and even a thermos of coffee can save you from purchasing overpriced snacks at the station or onboard for your ever-demanding kids.Kids will appreciate having their favourite snacks handy, and you’ll save money that could be better spent on activities at your destination.
[H3] 9. Make Travel Time Enjoyable for Kids with Entertaining Activities
Train journeys provide ample opportunities for entertainment. With space to move around, your kids can stretch their legs and enjoy a variety of activities. Bring along books, games, or even tablets loaded with their favourite shows. Many train services also offer free Wi-Fi, making it easier to keep them entertained.
[H3] 10. Plan Breaks and Stops
For longer journeys, be sure to plan a few breaks. This allows kids to burn off energy and explore the stations along the way. Many train stations have family-friendly areas where you can relax, grab a snack, or even enjoy some fresh air.

[IMG: Mother holding her son at the beach]

[H2] How to Get Even More Savings on Family Train Journeys
Looking for more ways to make your family’s train journeys even more affordable? Consider using Split My Fare to split tickets with other travellers. This innovative service allows you to divide the cost of your journey into separate tickets, potentially saving you up to 90% on your fare. You can travel on the same train without any changes to your normal journey. The only condition is that your train must stop at all the stations listed on your tickets. Split My Fare automatically checks this for you. Additionally, there are no booking or card fees, and e-tickets are instantly available on your phone. Maximise your savings and ensure your trip is as enjoyable as possible.

[H1] Ultimate Guide: What to Know Before Traveling to Europe from Malaysia
With its rich history, unique culture, amazing architecture, and varied climates, Europe is a dream destination for many Malaysians keen to explore something different. This is why millions of Malaysians visit Europe almost every year. But before you book a flight from Kuala Lumpur to one of the European countries, you need to know what it takes to travel from Malaysia to Europe. This is the ultimate guide to everything you should know about traveling to Europe from Malaysia.

Best Time to Visit | How to Travel | Important Things to Know

[IMG: Europese flag]

[H2] Visa Requirements
Just like foreigners need a Malaysia tourist visa to visit the country, people of Malaysia also need to apply for visas before traveling to Europe. But this also depends on the country you plan to visit. For instance, Malaysians are entitled to a visa on arrival in the Schengen Zone. If you are planning to travel to Italy for a short visit (not more than 90 days within six months), you do not have to apply for an Italy visa beforehand. The same applies to the rest of the Schengen countries.
An ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System) is sufficient in this case. If you live and work in Malaysia but are a citizen of another country, you may need to check whether you need a visa to visit the Schengen countries.
The visa waiver for Malaysian citizens is limited to the Schengen Zone. You may have to apply for a visa for other European countries. For instance, Malaysians planning to visit the UK must apply for a UK tourist visa. Before applying for a visa for any of the other European countries, make sure you know all about the visa processes. Seeking the help of a visa agent would be a good idea to ensure that you get the visa on time.

[H2] Best Time to Visit Europe
One of the most important things to know when visiting Europe from Malaysia is the best time to visit the continent. While there may be slight variations in temperature, the seasons of almost all of Europe can be divided into four. Here we present the pros and cons of visiting Europe in each of the seasons.
Summer (June to August): Summer is the tourist season in Europe, and the weather is quite hot and humid in most countries. However, northern European countries, like Norway, Iceland, Sweden, Ireland, the Alps, etc., experience quite a cool summer, with the temperatures below 20 degrees C. While the weather in summer is great for sightseeing and outdoor attractions, almost all the popular cities and places in Europe would be crowded. Moreover, holidaying in Europe during this season can be expensive, as accommodation and flight charges are quite high.
Spring (April to June) and Autumn (September and October): Spring and autumn are shoulder seasons in Europe. Spring is when the weather transitions from winter to summer, and autumn changes from summer to winter. While the landscapes in Europe are different during these seasons, the climate is quite pleasant during both times. Also, the tourist crowd is less during this time, Europe less expensive. Malaysian schools have term breaks for a few weeks in May-June and September, making these months a perfect holiday destination for a European family holiday.
Winter (November to March): Most of Europe has an extremely cold climate during the winter season, with some of the places experiencing snowfall. As Malaysia has a hot and humid climate throughout the year, Europe would be a good change for most of you. Malaysian schools are also closed for an annual break during December-January, making it ideal for holidays again. While you may have to dress up in layers when exploring Europe in the winter months, visiting in this season has several advantages. You can view a dreamy winter landscape, indulge in skiing and winter adventures, and participate in winter festivities like Christmas and New Year. Hotels and flights also offer massive discounts and deals during this season.

Travel to Berlin

[H2] How to Travel to Europe?
You will find plenty of direct flights from Kuala Lumpur International Airport to the most popular European cities. Most major international airlines, like Malaysian Airlines, Emirates, Etihad Airways, Air Arabia, Oman Air, etc., offer direct flights to most European cities, such as Rome, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, London, and more. Make sure to book your flight tickets in advance to get a good deal, especially if you are planning for a summer European holiday. If you do not get a direct flight to the city you plan to visit, get a transit visa for the country you are flying through.

[H2] How to Travel within Europe?
When visiting Europe from Malaysia, it is highly unlikely that you would be sticking to just one city or even one country. Unless you have booked a European tour package, you must manage your transportation. But you don’t have to worry, as airways, roadways, and railways connect Europe well. You can travel from one European country to the other via budget airlines, trains, and buses. It is important to book tickets for these travel modes well in advance, as these are popular ways of traveling, and getting a reservation at the last minute may be a problem.
In the case of local transport, i.e., within the cities of Europe, you can rely on trams and metros. These are reliable and efficient. Getting transport passes would be a good idea to save time and money while traveling within the cities. Taxis and rideshares are also available in most European cities. A visit to any of the European countries would make you realize that the best way to explore Europe is on foot. If that feels like too much, you will also find bicycles for rent in most cities on this continent.

[H2] Important Things to Know While Visiting Europe from Malaysia
While the Euro is the currency used commonly, several countries have their own currencies. For instance, it is pound sterling in the UK, Lari in Georgia and Turkey, Forint in Hungary, Koruna in the Czech Republic, Franc in Switzerland, etc.
Every European country has its own language, although English is spoken in most major cities. To overcome language barriers, learn a few basic statements about the place you are visiting. You can also use Google Translate to translate things into English or Malay.
Pack outfits and other accessories as per the season you are visiting Europe. Check the weather of the place or places you are visiting and pack your things accordingly.
When it comes to accommodation, there are plenty of options for different budgets and requirements. You can opt for hotels, hostels, boutique hotels, Airbnbs, etc. Reserve your accommodations through booking sites or through a travel agent before you reach the place.
Always buy travel insurance that covers medical, accidental, and emergency expenses. It is extremely crucial when you are traveling to a new country.
One of the reasons Malaysians love to travel to Europe is to try its cuisine, and every country offers different types of cuisines. If you are looking for halal food, you will find it in areas with Muslim communities. In most popular European cities, you will also find vegetarian and vegan options.
Save the contact numbers of Malaysian embassies in the European countries you are traveling to. You must contact them in case of emergencies such as loss of passport, theft, accidents, etc.
Before you leave for your European holiday, seek advice from fellow Malaysians who have already explored the continent. They’re easy to find on social media. This will help you get a first-hand experience of Malaysians in Europe, including what to see and do, what to expect, common mistakes to avoid, cultural surprises, dos and don’ts, and more.
