Our advice: change trains in Valence TGV rather than Paris

By default, our planner will suggest the fastest connections, and the fastest connections from Brussels to Barcelona are via Paris.

But you can also travel from Brussels to Barcelona with a connection at Valence TGV rather than Paris. The journey will take a few minutes longer, but this will save you changing stations in Paris. To do so, click on "More options", enter the transit station "Aéroport Charles de Gaulle" in the "via" field and allow up to 40 min. transfer time.

What's the easiest way to find the lowest fares for high-speed trains?

How far ahead can I book my international train ticket?

The booking period differs from one type of train to another. The main international trains at a glance:

EuroCity, Eurocity Direct and our regional cross-border trains: buying tickets without booking a seat, particularly to the Netherlands, Lille or Luxembourg, is possible 335 days (11 months) before travel.
AVE, Euromed, Alvia and other long distance trains in Spain operated by Renfe: booking possible 302 days (almost 10 months) in advance.
Eurostar: booking possible on average from 210 days before travel, i.e. about 7 months in advance (minimum 157 and maximum 277 days in advance, depending on the period of the year).
TGV Lyria: booking usually possible 8 months before travel.
ICE and other Deutsche Bahn trains: booking usually possible 180 days (almost 6 months) before travel.
Nightjet: booking theoretically possible from 180 days in advance. However, due to frequent works on the German rail network, adjusted timetables for Nightjet trains are often announced late, which unfortunately results in late opening of reservations.
TGV INOUI and Trenitalia trains: booking usually possible 4 months before travel.
Avant and Spanish Regional Express trains operated by Renfe: booking possible 62 days (2 months) in advance.

Exceptions:

Eurostar Snow to the French Alps, booking possible from the end of the summer for the whole ski season (date to be specified each year).
TGV early bird sale for travel in winter periods (Christmas and ski season) and summer periods (July and August). For these periods, the date of the early bird sale is to be specified each year.
Every year in mid-December, different European rail companies simultaneously amend their train services, with new timetables taking effect more or less throughout Europe. On certain rail networks (particularly in Germany), the new timetables for mid-December are only confirmed and published at some point during October. When this occurs, bookings for rail travel from mid-December onwards can also only be made after a given date in October.
In special circumstances (e.g. in case of engineering works), carriers may be forced to adapt their transport plan more frequently. For this reason, booking periods may momentarily differ from the above rules.
