The train is the best way to travel to the German capital: several times a day, the ICE high speed trains will take you from Brussels or Liège straight to the heart of Berlin (with an easy change in Cologne). Six days a week, you can also take a direct night train from Brussels to Berlin with European Sleeper.
Experience world history in Berlin! Walk under the Brandenburg Gate and along the remains of the Berlin Wall. Visit the Bundestag, Museum Island and the lively districts of Kreuzberg or Prenzlauer Berg.
Due to planned engineering works on the German rail network from Monday 18 May to Tuesday 2 June 2026, trains between Aachen and Cologne will be diverted via Rheydt.
ICE and Nightjet trains will follow an adapted schedule resulting in longer journey times.
Some ICE trains will only operate between Brussels and Cologne and will be cancelled between Cologne and Frankfurt.
