The first leg of your journey will take you from London to Brussels (Midi/Zuid) by Eurostar. In just 1 hour 48 minutes, you will have left hectic London behind to arrive right in the heart of Europe, passing through the Channel Tunnel.
In Brussels (Midi/Zuid), step on board a Eurostar or ICE train to Cologne. The 9 daily trains provide a direct service in just 1:47. If there’s enough time to catch your connecting train in Cologne, you should consider stepping outside to admire the magnificent Cologne Cathedral.
Once you arrive at Köln Hbf (Cologne) station, change trains to get to Berlin. All you need to do is change platforms to catch a high-speed ICE train straight to the German capital.
The 17 daily ICE trains will take you directly into the centre of Berlin in around 4 hours 20 minutes. We recommend getting off at the central station (Berlin Hauptbahnhof), which is within easy reach of all the most popular tourist destinations in Berlin. Berlin Hbf also offers excellent connections to other German cities (Leipzig or Dresden, for example).
Due to announced strike in Belgium, the rail service on the Belgian rail network will be limited from Friday 21 February (10 pm) to Sunday 2 March 2025 included.
An alternative train service will be put in place depending on the available staff. The detailed schedule for every day will be available on www.sncb.be the day before (details for Saturday 21 February will be available on Friday 21 February in the morning).
For international trains (such as Eurostar, TGV INOUI, EuroCity, Eurocity Direct, ICE, OUIGO etc...), no consequences have been announced so far. We advise to check this page regularly for further updates.
Please take alternative service into account if you are travelling on our cross-border local trains to/from Lille, Maubeuge, Luxembourg, Roosendaal, Maastricht or Aachen or if you need to take a local connection in Belgium before or after your international journey.
