Dutch Train Ticket Platform Launches Daily Price Calendar for International Rail Travel

Booking a train trip through Europe just got a lot easier. While air travel has long benefited from a wide range of comparison sites that offer clear pricing and booking tools, planning an international train journey still remains unnecessarily complex. Ticket prices are often opaque, routes are scattered across multiple providers, and booking systems differ by country. For travelers who prefer the environmentally friendly option of taking the train, this can be a frustrating experience.

Dutch platform Goedkoop-treinkaartje.nl is now changing that. As the first in the Netherlands, the site has launched an intuitive price calendar that shows the cheapest train tickets per travel date for a wide range of European routes — not just for major destinations, but also for lesser-known or more complicated journeys involving transfers.

One Clear Overview Across Rail Providers

One of the biggest challenges in booking international rail travel is the lack of a single, clear overview. Travelers often need to visit several websites, sometimes in foreign languages, and compare prices manually across different railway companies. 

“They don’t know where to start or fear they’re missing a better deal somewhere else.”

Goedkoop-treinkaartje.nl solves this by combining data from multiple providers into a single search engine. Based on the chosen route and travel date, users are immediately directed to the most affordable option — without the hassle of browsing multiple platforms. The site is designed to be user-friendly and efficient.

From Ticket Comparison to Complete Trip Planning

The platform has broader ambitions beyond just ticket comparison. Work is underway to add options for booking hotels near train stations and complete city trips (train + hotel). This all-in-one approach caters to the growing demand for sustainable yet convenient travel within Europe.

“If you want travelers to truly choose trains over planes or cars, you need to make the entire journey — from departure to overnight stay — simple and cost-effective”.

Encouraging Greener Travel Choices

Train travel is one of the most eco-friendly modes of transportation available in Europe, especially when compared to short-haul flights or car journeys. By making international train booking more transparent and accessible, Goedkoop-treinkaartje.nl aims to encourage more people to choose the sustainable route.

Founded in 2011, the platform has grown to become one of the most visited and best train travel website in the Netherlands, providing travel advice and ticket deals. With the launch of the new price calendar, Goedkoop-treinkaartje.nl takes another major step toward promoting climate-friendly mobility across Europe.
