Travelling from Paris to Berlin Hbf by Train

On 1st October 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.

Set off from the center of the City of Lights on a scenic international journey to Berlin by train. Highspeed TGV and Eurostar trains will whisk you into Germany, where you’ll swap an equally high-speed ICE train for the final leg into the center of Berlin.

It may be quicker to fly, but taking the train means you’ll get to watch the picturesque French and German countryside glide past your window from comfortable spacious seats, with the bonus of free WiFi, drinks and snacks and large luggage allowances. Plus, it’s a much eco-friendlier way to travel, so you know you’re doing your bit for the environment at the same time.

Once you get to Berlin Hbf (one of Berlin's 6 major train stations), you'll be right in the center of the city, just a stroll or subway ride away from some of the German capital's most iconic landmarks like the Reichstag Building or Brandenburg Gate.
