With the high-speed Thalys and ICE trains, getting from Brussels to Cologne is easy. The journey to Germany’s “fun loving capital” takes less than 2 hours, during which you’ll be able to enjoy the landscapes of the Rhine Valley passing by.
After a few stops you’ll arrive at Köln Hbf, the Cologne’s main train station. Set right next to the celebrated cathedral, the station’s within minutes from the shopping district, several important museums and many more attractions. The station’s also a major rail hub for journeys to other destinations in Germany, as well as to Scandinavia, Central and Eastern Europe.
Due to planned engineering works near Brussels-Midi in the morning of Sunday 4 June 2023, the two earliest ICE trains to Germany will depart from Liège-Guillemins instead of Brussels-Midi:
Please check the adapted schedules in our journey planner.
Due to engineering works near Cologne, most ICE trains connecting Brussels with Frankfurt will be diverted around Cologne on Saturday 17 June 2023.
As a consequence, these trains will not be serving Köln Hbf main station as usual, but will be calling at Köln-Ehrenfeld station instead (in the North-West of the city centre).
Please check the adapted schedules in our journey planner if you travel to/from Cologne or if you have to change trains in Cologne.
