Across Europe

For most travel both short and long distance the most practical means of transportation is the railway system. Other options include cheap airlines such as Ryan Air and travel deals with the ISIC card and student travel agencies such as STA.

By Air

For long trips, it's usually cheapest to go by plane. You can find cheap deals with budget airlines like RyanAir, but they don't fly out of Amsterdam. You may be able to save money by taking a train to Belgium and flying out of Brussels or Charleroi. To look up flights, Sky Scanner is a great resource.

By Train

For train travel, nothing is easier than going to the international office in the Rotterdam, Den Haag, or Amsterdam Centraal train stations (though in Amsterdam you may have to wait a while). You can find online resources for your trip at Rail Europe. If you're taking a long trip you may want to look at getting a train pass. A variety of different rail passes are offered. With the pass you can get on any train that does not require a reservation whenever you want. Some trains require a reservation (i.e. high speed trains like the ICE, TGV, RailJet, etc.). It is best to reserve as early as possible for these. If you are specifically looking for trips in/to/through Germany try the German rail site www.bahn.de. They occasionally have deals like a 39 Euro one way ticket.

By Bus

If you would like to look into traveling across europe by bus you can find more information at eurolines.com. Bus travel is sometimes the cheapest, but it'll take you a long time to get there.

Accomodations

A good website for finding and reserving a place at a hostel is Hostel World.
