Head to the bustling city of Cologne by trainCologne by train

SNCB International offers daily high speed train connections to Cologne with Eurostar and with the ICE trains. There's nothing more convenient than the train to get to the heart of Cologne, as the main rail station is literally located at the foot of the famous cathedral. 
21 April (from 10 pm) and 22 April: strike in Belgium

Due to a strike in Belgium, the rail service on the Belgian rail network will be limited from Monday 21 April (10 pm) to Tuesday 22 April 2025 included.

An alternative train service will be drawn up based on available train staff. Take this alternative train service into account if you need to take a domestic connection in Belgium before or after your international train journey, or if you need to take our regional trains shortly across the border (Roosendaal, Maastricht, Aachen, Luxembourg, Lille or Maubeuge). More details on this alternative train service will be available 24h in advance on www.belgiantrain.be.

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.). We advise to check this page regularly for further updates.
