I will join the other people who suggested to take a train. First of all.
there is a train station directly at the Airport of Amsterdam
so you will not need to bother about taxis or transfers.
secondly. of all the Countries in Europe.. Holland is a nation where almost
everybody speaks English. You might ask children in the streets directly in
English. and chances are they will answer directly in good english.
Dutch people normally speak german as well ( even if they do not like
speaking german) and many speak french too.
Roads in Holland are often jammed.. so a train is a very good solution.
you do not need to book
I do not know what you are looking for in Antwerp.. unless you want to go to
the Zoo or the Diamonds market
Maybe what you are looking for in Brugge is the church ??
do not forget that in Belgium there are parts where people speak French and
where people speak Dutch.
So the real names are Bruges and Antwerp. ( of course. Anverse and Brugge
exist.. )
In Bruxelles ffor instance. french will be spoken in town. but outside Dutch
will be spoken..
sometimes the names are puzzling completely different.. like Mons in french
and Bergen in Dutch.
Or Aix la chapelle.. Aachen ??
