With the high-speed Eurostar and ICE trains, getting from Brussels to Cologne by train is very easy. The journey to Germany’s “fun loving capital” takes less than 2 hours.
After a stop in Liège and in Aachen, you’ll arrive at Köln Hbf, Cologne’s main train station. Set right next to the celebrated cathedral on the left bank of the Rhine, the station is located within a few minutes walk from the shopping district, the main museums and many more attractions. The station’s also a major rail hub for journeys to other destinations in Germany, but also to Switzerland, Austria, Scandinavia, Central and Eastern Europe.
Due to engineering works near Cologne, the ICE trains connecting Brussels with Frankfurt will be diverted around Cologne from Friday 14 November to Sunday 23 November 2025.
As a consequence, they will not be serving Köln Hbf (central station) as usual, but will be calling at Köln-Ehrenfeld suburban station (North-West of the city centre) instead.
Please check the adapted schedules in our journey planner if you travel to/from Cologne or if you have to change trains in Cologne.
