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). Six 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 planned engineering works on the German rail network from Saturday 27 June to Thursday 23 July 2026, trains between Aachen and Cologne will be diverted via Rheydt.
ICE and Nightjet trains will follow an adapted schedule: ICE trains to Belgium will leave earlier from Frankfurt and Cologne, some ICE trains will be cancelled.
Please check the adapted schedules before you depart.
