Germany invites you to discover its medieval cultural treasures, rolling landscapes and trendy cities, with Berlin and Cologne leading the way with their sheer creative potential.

Let SNCB International guide you on your journey to Germany with the direct ICE or Eurostar high speed trains departing from Brussels or Liège, or with one of the night trains to Germany. And when your international train has reached its destination, you can use plenty of local onward connections to get to the smallest and remotest places in the country. Do you prefer a short escape nearby? From Liège, you can simply hop on our regional cross-border train to Aachen.

Whether you want to visit a big city or a small town, we can get you wherever you want to go, throughout Germany - at the best fares.

Travel update

Rail traffic disrupted between Aachen and Cologne until 23 December

Due to an incident on the German rail network on 22 November, the rail traffic between Aachen and Cologne will be disrupted until Monday 23 December.

Until 23 December, most ICE trains on the Brussels-Cologne-Frankfurt connection will only operate between Brussels-Midi and Aachen Hbf. Between Aachen and Cologne, passengers can use Deutsche Bahn's regional RE1 and RE9 services, resulting in longer journey times.

Only the last two ICE trains of the day will operate all the way between Brussels and Frankfurt (ICE 317 and 19 from Brussels to Frankfurt and ICE 12 and 10 from Frankfurt to Brussels). However, they are being diverted via Rheydt, taking 90 to 100 minutes of extra journey time.
