It’s so easy to travel from Brussels to Berlin by train. On your journey between these two city centres you just need to change trains once, at the main station in Cologne (Köln Hbf), so you don’t even need to change stations.
This long journey of almost 800 km winding through Europe takes less than 7 hours on high-speed trains, with an arrival right in the heart of the German city as an added bonus.
The first leg of your journey will take you from Brussels (Midi/Zuid) station to the central station in Cologne (Köln Hbf). This service runs several times a day with high-speed Thalys or ICE trains, and takes just 1 hour 47 minutes.
Once you arrive at Köln Hbf (Cologne) station, change trains to get to Berlin. All you need to do is change platforms to catch a high-speed ICE train straight to the German capital.
The 17 daily ICE trains will take you directly into the centre of Berlin in around 4 hours 20 minutes. We recommend getting off at the central station (Berlin Hauptbahnhof), which is within easy reach of all the most popular tourist destinations in Berlin. Berlin Hbf also offers excellent connections to other German cities (Leipzig or Dresden, for example), and to neighbouring countries such as Poland.
