• Brussels can also be easily reached by train from London (via Eurostar trains), from Paris, Köln and
Amsterdam (via Thalys trains) or from other near-by European cities. Such international trains will typically
stop in all the major train stations in Brussels, including the Brussels Central station. In any way, all the trains
going into Brussels will stop in the Brussels South (Brussel-Zuid/Bruxelles-Midi) train station and there are
frequent trains connecting Brussels South to Brussels Central.
