Liverpool’s opponents in the Europa League group stage are FC Utrecht of Holland on September 30, and fortunately for traveling fans, Utrecht is not as hard to get to as Trabzon, so we have compiled the following on how to get there; including flights and train times to Utrecht from Amsterdam.
Flying from Liverpool John Lennon to Amsterdam Schipol seems the easiest option; however EasyJet have taken advantage of everyone looking for flights on the dates around the game and increased their prices, so flying from Manchester with KLM is cheaper.
Utrecht is only half an hour by train from both Amsterdam Central and the airport, and they run frequently enough to get you to the game in time – see train details below.
For those flying from London, there are a couple of flights from Gatwick, Stanstead and Luton listed below.

Kafé België has nearly 200 different beers available, or if you’re after a sports bar there’s Mick Connel’s Irish bar.
Alternatively, you can spend the day in the centre of Amsterdam and walk over to the train station when it’s time to get into Utrecht for the game.
