The train is the best way to travel to the German capital: several times a day, the ICE high speed trains will take you from Brussels or Liège straight to the heart of Berlin (with an easy change in Cologne). Three days a week, you can also take a direct night train from Brussels to Berlin with European Sleeper.
Experience world history in Berlin! Walk under the Brandenburg Gate and along the remains of the Berlin Wall. Visit the Bundestag, Museum Island and the lively districts of Kreuzberg or Prenzlauer Berg.
Due to announced strike, fewer trains will be operating on the Belgian rail network from Sunday 25 January (10 pm - CET) to Friday 30 January 2026 included.
An alternative train service will be drawn up based on available train staff. All details on this alternative train service will be available 24h in advance on www.belgiantrain.be.
Please take this alternative train service into account if you need to take a domestic connection in Belgium before or after an international train journey, or if you need to take our regional trains just across the border (Roosendaal, Maastricht, Aachen, Luxembourg, Lille or Maubeuge).
For the time being, we still don't know the possible impact of this strike on international trains (EuroCity, Eurocity Direct, TGV INOUI, Eurostar, OUIGO, ICE etc.). Please check this page regularly for further updates.
