The distance between these two fantastic capital cities in 330 miles and can be made in 6 hours straight.\n\nHow to drive to Amsterdam through Calais:\n\n- Heading south out of London get yourself on the M20 and cruise down towards Folkestone and the Eurotunnel. Crossing the English Channel from here takes just 35 minutes.\n- Once you are out of the tunnel head east onto the E40 and continue towards Bruges, from here you can utilise the connecting motorways to Amsterdam\n- Without any major delays or unexpected events, this route will take you from London to Amsterdam in 5 hours and 55 minutes.\n- The distance from London to Amsterdam is 330 miles The estimated fuel cost for this journey is £52.77 (excluding Eurotunnel fees).\n\nThings to do from London to Amsterdam with the Eurotunnel:\n\n- Cap Blanc Nez: Surface from the channel and pull up at Cap Blanc Nez, where sandy dunes brush the base of cliffs, peaking at the 134m-high Cap Blanc Nez. Lush panoramic views extend from this high perch of the Bay of Wissant, the Flemish countryside and even the chalk hued cliffs of Kent. Free parking makes this a prime spot to inhale the salty sea and stretch your legs on roaming paths to a collection of gigantic WWII German bunkers.\n- Brussels: The capital of Belgium is a run of alleys embedded with hip cafes, dishevelled art deco buildings and chrome architecture of the 1960s. Both the seat of EU administration and kooky run-down bars, Brussels lures travellers with one-off cityscape. If you’re eager to arrive in Amsterdam without delay then skirt around Brussels and stop instead at Ghent, Belgium’s best-kept secret.\n- Antwerp: Belgium’s second-largest city is its capital of cool. The diamond business has been anchored in its threading canals for over five centuries and the fashion-pack have long flocked to its regal shores. Stroll the cobbles of the Grand Place in daylight to admire the 15th-century city hall centrepiece and return at night when the square takes on a different aura.\n\n# Route 2 – Ride the Harwich to Hoek van Holland ferry to Amsterdam\nHow to drive to Amsterdam through Harwich Ferry Port:\n\nHead east out of London and get on the M25. This leads into the A12 which skirts around Colchester, merges in the A120 and drops you off at Harwich ferry port.\n\n- After you’ve docked, take the E30 and after 20 minutes turn onto the A4, the highway to Amsterdam.\n- The ferry trip varies between 6.5 hours and 8.5 hours depending on your chosen time. Driving from London to Amsterdam via Hoek van Holland ferry takes around at 9 hours, again depending on the crossing.\n\nPlaces to See from London to Amsterdam with the Hoek van Holland ferry\n\n- Den Haag: Den Haag is a sumptuous collective of regal residences, outstanding culinary fair and the Netherlands' classical facades. Admire hall upon hall of masterpieces at Mauritshuis, a museum housed in a palace that’s flourishing with Rembrandt and Vermeer.\n- Leiden: Stop by Leiden, the Netherlands’ picture-postcard town. By day take to Leiden’s interlacing canals and soak up the culture and by night crawl the bounty of clubs and bars populated by the town’s huge number of students.\n\n\n# Additional information\n\n- When using the Eurotunnel, make sure to check in at least 30 minutes before your scheduled journey\n- Take into consideration the potential cost of European toll roads when driving from London to Amsterdam\n- Be sure to check the local radio and appropriate travel websites for up to date news on road conditions\n- We suggest reading up on information about driving in the United Kingdom, Belgium, and Holland before you initiate your journey\n\n[/accordion]\n\n[/column]\n[column]\n[image src=\"2372972e-61f2-4b99-824b-c10be50f85ac.jpg\" alt=\"image\"]\n[/image]\n[/column]\n[/grid]\n[/section]\n\n\n[directus id=\"Internal_linking_uk_RAC_One-Way\" /]","breadcrumb_display_name":null,"folder":"rental-services","schema":"{\"@context\":\"https://schema.org/\",\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"SIXT\",\"item\":\"https://www.sixt.co.uk/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Rental Services\",\"item\":\"https://www.sixt.co.uk/rental-services/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"One Way Car Hire\",\"item\":\"https://www.sixt.co.uk/rental-services/one-way-car-hire/\"}]}","page_name":null,"parent_id":{"page_id":"rac_services_one-way","product_line":"rent-car","slug":"one-way-car-hire","breadcrumb_display_name":null,"page_name":null},"hero_banner_desktop":{"filename_disk":"dc1bbfbe-2e04-4bbb-ae3a-99865bd789a1.jpg","width":3200,"height":1371},"hero_banner_mobile":{"filename_disk":"ebf2ec54-9dbc-4d9d-a583-0166143b1126.jpg","width":1400,"height":2100}},"content":[{"id":"20ef354a-5e53-4e8a-b9c7-ebe73be0ec1b","type":"section","attributes":null,"childItems":[{"id":"227beb5a-685a-4093-9956-ea004bb15a93","type":"IPARAGRAPH","attributes":null,"text":[{"heading":[],"content":[{"type":"Text","content":[[{"type":"Text","content":"Driving from London to Amsterdam is the Euro trip of the moment.
