The first leg of your journey will take you from London to Brussels (Midi/Zuid) by Eurostar. In just 1 hour 48 minutes, you will have left hectic London behind to arrive right in the heart of Europe, passing through the Channel Tunnel.
In Brussels (Midi/Zuid), step on board a Eurostar or ICE train to Cologne. The 9 daily trains provide a direct service in just 1:47. If there’s enough time to catch your connecting train in Cologne, you should consider stepping outside to admire the magnificent Cologne Cathedral.
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).
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.
From Monday 12 to Thursday 29 August 2024 inclusive, engineering works are planned on the high-speed line between Brussels and the French border. During these works, Eurostar and TGV INOUI trains will be diverted via an alternative route, resulting in longer journey times.
