Book your tickets four months in advance to get the best fares on offer.
Your journey begins at Paris Est train station, where you’ll find TGV® and ICE trains (regrouped as “TGV®/ICE Germany) offering daily connections to Frankfurt.
The TGV® or ICE trains will take you to the city of Frankfurt in only 3 hours 48 minutes, passing by Strasbourg or Forbach and with a few intermediary stops (among others in Mannheim).
Your arrival station is Frankfurt Hbf, the city’s central station. Here, numerous public transportation services connect to tourist and business sites in a few minutes, as well as to the airport. An important rail hub in Germany, Frankfurt Hbf also provides you with links to other German cities or destinations such as Switzerland, Austria or 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.
