To get back you need to make sure not to take the latest possible train but one before meaning that you will arrive at least 1:30hr before your flight departs. So that is at least another 2 hours gone (if you're lucky). So, deduct 3 hours to get to the city and back.
Sounds interesting indeed. Even an insecure Euro-newbie like myself should be able to manage this
HEL sounds interesting, but the fare structure is only economical if you are prepared to spend a Saturday night, meaning that Hotel accomodation comes into play.
At the moment I'm leaning towards an AMS daytrip + a UK domestic flight or 2 x AMS if I really like the place. The Hotline fares are really decent.
I don't think I'll be visiting the Red Light district or those famous coffee houses this time around - at least not intentionally!
