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).
Due to announced strike, fewer trains will be operating on the Belgian rail network from Sunday 25 January (10 pm - CET) to Friday 30 January 2026 included.
An alternative train service will be drawn up based on available train staff. All details on this alternative train service will be available 24h in advance on www.belgiantrain.be.
Please take this alternative train service into account if you need to take a domestic connection in Belgium before or after an international train journey, or if you need to take our regional trains just across the border (Roosendaal, Maastricht, Aachen, Luxembourg, Lille or Maubeuge).
For the time being, we still don't know the possible impact of this strike on international trains (EuroCity, Eurocity Direct, TGV INOUI, Eurostar, OUIGO, ICE etc.). Please check this page regularly for further updates.
