    Taking the train from Brussels to Berlin

    On October 1, 2023, Thalys became Eurostar. Thalys' red trains will stay the same, including the classes and services available on board, but every Thalys train now displays the Eurostar name and logo. 

    ➡️ Head to our dedicated Eurostar page for more information.

    Because nothing follows fries better than a cool beer, this route from Brussels to Berlin should be top of the list for everyone from foodies to art-lovers. Traveling by Eurostar and Deutsche Bahn trains (modern, comfy, and very cool) you’ll head through Belgium and over the border to Germany. The journey takes 6.5 hours, so sit back and enjoy the view, all while knowing you’re taking a greener, and far less stressful route to the German capital. Check out our guide to Berlin's train stations to learn more about your destination.

    Hop on your train to Berlin, where the open and green spaces of Brussels are replaced with more urban vibes.

    How do I find cheap train tickets from Brussels to Berlin?

    If you’re planning a trip to Europe soon, our Trainline team of experts have put together some tips to help you find cheap tickets. Booking on the day in Europe is usually more expensive and costs can vary depending on the time of day, route or travel class.

    1. Book in advance

    The price of train tickets from Brussels to Berlin starts at $37.08§ one-way for a Standard Class ticket if you book in advance. Most train companies across Europe release their tickets around three to six months ahead of time, so if you know the dates you want to travel, you may be able to find cheaper tickets.

    2. Be flexible with your travel times

    If you can, consider traveling outside of 'peak hours' (generally between 06:00 - 10:00 and 15:00 - 19:00 on weekdays) as lots of trains companies increase their ticket prices during these commuter times.

    3. Buy a rail pass

    If you're visiting multiple locations on your trip, buying a rail pass can be cheaper than buying individual tickets. We're official retailers of Eurail Passes that are valid for travel in one country or multiple countries across Europe.

    4. Choose a slower or connecting train

    On some busier routes, you might have the option to take a slower or connecting train. It may take longer than some high-speed or direct services, but if you have some extra time on your hands, you might find a cheaper fare.

    5. Look out for train ticket sales and deals

    Many train companies in Europe will often run sales and offers on tickets throughout the year, so keep an eye out!

    For specific information about how to get your hands on cheap tickets, check out our European train tickets hub.

    §Some train companies may not offer any Advance ticket types or cheaper deals for early bookings. On rare occasions, train companies may choose to release special offers closer to the date on last-minute or late-release tickets. This is dependent on the individual train operating company you travel with.
