Netherlands are very far away land for Polish travelers, but even so we may travel there by bus. Many Poles are working in Amsterdam and other cities, so transfers like that are very popular, especially for citizens from western Poland. A ticket i both sides to Netherlands cost around 200 zlotys, so it is very reasonable price. However, the trip itself may be very uncomfortable for some people, we are driving for many hours, not everyone would like that. And because of that a lot more convenient mode of transportation to Amsterdam will be an airplane. Direct transfers to the capital departures twice a week from Warsaw and Cracow. Poznan and Wroclaw are offering flights to Eindhoven, situated two hours drive from Amsterdam. You can use a comfortable and fast train or rent a car.
