Travel to lively Rotterdam by train

Ready to explore the vibrant harbour city of Rotterdam? The best way to get there is by train, whether you opt for the cheaper EuroCity train, for the brand new Eurocity Direct or for the high speed Eurostar train. With SNCB International, you can choose between all of them!

Travel update

10-11 January 2026: restricted itinerary in Belgium for EuroCity and Eurocity Direct.

Due to engineering works between Brussels and Antwerp, the itinerary of the EuroCity (Brussels-Rotterdam) and Eurocity Direct (Brussels-Amsterdam) will be restricted as follows on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 January 2026:

EuroCity trains will be diverted via Aarschot between Brussels and Antwerp, resulting in longer journey times. Consequently, they will only operate between Rotterdam and Bruxelles-Nord/Brussel-Noord (instead of Bruxelles-Midi/Brussel-Zuid). Between Bruxelles-Nord/Brussel-Noord and other Brussels stations, passengers can make use of other SNCB trains.
Eurocity Direct will operate between Amsterdam and Antwerp-Central (instead of Brussels). Between Antwerp and Brussels, passengers can make use of SNCB, which will follow an adapted schedule and/or itinerary.

Our journey planner already takes these changes into account.
