Bus trips from Paris to Amsterdam will require certain documentation to be in physical form. Long-distance trips generally require a printed ticket as well as a passport to show the border patrol of the country being entered. Ensure you have the address of your destination, as this often gets requested at the border, too. With journeys that average between 6 hours and 9 hours, such as this Paris to Amsterdam trip, you may want to ensure you eat beforehand or take snacks with you, despite the snack service on board.
With buses from Paris to Amsterdam, you will leave from the popular Paris Bercy Seine Bus Station. It is a large and well-maintained station that can offer you all the amenities you could need before embarking on this long-distance trip. In order to reach the bus station from central Paris, you will have a few choices of public transportation, including the 89 bus line or the Metro line 14. When you arrive in Amsterdam, a common station to disembark is Sloterdijk Bus Station. From here, you can hop on the Sprinter Intercity train and be in central Amsterdam in just a few minutes. The trains run roughly every 5min and are fast and efficient. Alternatively, if you have a lot of luggage, you can always grab a taxi right outside the bus station.
You will find a generous luggage allowance with bus companies BlaBlaBus and FlixBus. Passengers are allowed one piece of checked luggage weighing no more than 44 lbs on FlixBus and one piece of luggage no more than 50 lbs on BlaBlaBus. Both bus companies also allow a piece of hand-held luggage. This item will need to be small enough for storage on the racks above your seat, such as a rucksack, handbag or laptop bag. If you have additional luggage requirements, you can arrange one extra suitcase for a fee. This will need to be arranged before you depart on your journey.
Unfortunately, on the bus from Paris to Amsterdam, neither FlixBus nor BlaBlaBus will allow you to bring a domestic pet on the journey. This is for the safety and comfort of fellow passengers and will only be accommodated if the pet is a service animal. There are certain conditions for service animals that will need to be observed, such as up-to-date paperwork with proof of inoculations, as well as certification that the animal has passed service training. The animal must wear a harness stipulating its name and service duty. If your dog is particularly large, the driver has the discretion to decide if it should be muzzled.
When catching buses to Amsterdam from Paris, you will have two primary bus companies to choose from, which are FlixBus and BlaBlaBus. There are even tickets where they partner up for the journey, on trips with two legs, offering you the best of both worlds. Both bus companies are highly professional and have mastered the art of comfort in long-distance travel. You can expect comfortable, reclining seats with ample legroom, chargers for your devices next to your seat and free Wifi for the duration of your journey, to stay connected. There are isolated air-conditioning ports, which will keep you cool, should you need it. Snacks and drinks are served on the buses for a fee, too, and both companies have hygienic and clean restrooms.
