With the high-speed Eurostar and ICE trains, getting from Brussels to Cologne by train is very easy. The journey to Germany’s “fun loving capital” takes less than 2 hours.
After a stop in Liège and in Aachen, you’ll arrive at Köln Hbf, Cologne’s main train station. Set right next to the celebrated cathedral on the left bank of the Rhine, the station is located within a few minutes walk from the shopping district, the main museums and many more attractions. The station’s also a major rail hub for journeys to other destinations in Germany, but also to Switzerland, Austria, Scandinavia, Central and Eastern Europe.
Due to engineering works between Brussels and Leuven on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 April, the ICE trains connecting Brussels with Cologne and Frankfurt will follow an adapted schedule and depart a few minutes earlier from Bruxelles-Midi/Brussel-Zuid and from Bruxelles-Nord/Brussel-Noord.
Please check the adapted timetables again a few days before departure.
