London to Aachen by train
London is great for many reasons, but one of the greatest reasons is that it’s home to a Eurostar terminal. We have a bit of a thing for trains here, so if you’re in London take full advantage of these sleek, modern trains and take a journey right from London’s city centre to and into Germany. With a journey time of just three and a half hours, Eurostar (with Business Premier options giving you lounge access for some real VIP vibes) will get you to Europe in no time. Once you’re across the channel, you can change on to a Deutsche Bahn, SNCF or Eurostar train to complete your journey.
The spa city of Aachen is your destination, and if you want to take full advantage of that, then head right for one of the natural hot spring baths dotted around the city, an especially tempting offer in the winter, although you’ll have to pull yourself away from the famous Christmas markets first. Aachen Cathedral is a city icon and a true marvel of architectural design. If you want to make this trip into something of a world tour, head to Three-Country Point which, and the name suggests, lets you visit three countries (Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands) in about as many steps! Head to Germany in true style, read more about this fabulous route below!
