How do I book a train ticket Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) on Kombo?

NS or Nederlandse Spoorwegen is the main railway company in the Netherlands in the passenger transport sector. Founded in 1938, it now handles 80% of the country's traffic and serves more than 400 stations. It is estimated that around one million passengers use it every day! As the country is relatively small and the number of stations rather high, the Netherlands is a very well-served country. It also provides international connections with Berlin, Brussels or Paris in partnership with Thalys, the Deutsche Bahn and the SNCF.

But let's take a closer look:
The NS has several companies and numerous stations throughout the country. To travel within the Netherlands, this is clearly the best solution. And Kombo offers you all these NS train journeys directly on the site. Compare all the options and choose the one that suits you best!
The NS trains are :
- Intercity trains: These trains allow you to travel between cities in the Netherlands. No reservation is necessary.
- Intercity Direct trains: These are NS trains that connect Amsterdam, Schiphol Airport, Rotterdam Central and Breda. These NS trains are more expensive than the Intercity but have the advantage of being faster.
- Sprinter trains: These trains connect the national railway stations in the Netherlands and stop at each station they pass through.
- The NS also offers night trains
