Get from Paris to Cologne in only 3:21 on direct Eurostar trains.
Book your tickets four months in advance to get the best fares on offer.
Start your trip at the Gare du Nord train station in Paris and hop aboard one of the daily direct Eurostar trains to Cologne. You’ll get to the bustling city of Cologne in just over 3 hours.
After 5 stops you’ll arrive at Köln Hbf, the Cologne’s main train station. Set right next to the celebrated cathedral, the station’s within minutes from the shopping district, several important museums and many more attractions. The station’s also a major rail hub for journeys to other destinations in Germany, as well as to Scandinavia, Central and Eastern Europe.
Due to an incident on the German rail network on 22 November, the rail traffic between Aachen and Cologne will be disrupted until Monday 23 December.
Until 23 December, most ICE trains on the Brussels-Cologne-Frankfurt connection will only operate between Brussels-Midi and Aachen Hbf. Between Aachen and Cologne, passengers can use Deutsche Bahn's regional RE1 and RE9 services, resulting in longer journey times.
Only the last two ICE trains of the day will operate all the way between Brussels and Frankfurt (ICE 317 and 19 from Brussels to Frankfurt and ICE 12 and 10 from Frankfurt to Brussels). However, they are being diverted via Rheydt, taking 90 to 100 minutes of extra journey time.
