It’s an easy journey by train from Cologne to Brussels. With 2 high-speed trains – Eurostar and ICE - competing on this route, you’ll get to the Belgian capital in no time at all.
Set off in Köln Hbf, Cologne’s main train station, situated next to the famous cathedral. After a comfortable journey with a travel time of less than 2 hours, you’ll arrive at Bruxelles-Midi/Brussel-Zuid, one of Brussels’ principal stations.
Upon your arrival, you’ll find a wide range of public transport lines (tram, metro, bus or even train) on offer, so you can start your visit to Brussels with ease. If you’re up for it, you can even rent a bicycle and head to Grand Place, Manneken Pis and the city’s many other tourist attractions!
At the request of the security forces, passengers of international trains may be subject to security checks at Brussels-Midi, Antwerp-Central and Liège-Guillemins stations from 14/06/24 to 08/09/24.
These checks (which may include identity checks and luggage searches) are non-systematic and non-permanent and are carried out by accredited security personnel.
Considering the possibility of such security checks, we suggest that passengers travelling abroad anticipate a safe time margin and get to the platform about 30 minutes in advance.
Travellers are also asked to present their identity document and should not be in possession of any suspicious items or items that could endanger other travellers.
