Great fares to Germany and Austria by Train from European Rail

Famous for its Christmas markets, culture and history, Germany is a great place to visit in this winter. Why not visit friends and relations in Cologne or Berlin and combine the experience? The night train now calls at Austrian ski resorts in the Tirol and Innsbruck on Fridays back Saturdays in the season. All these places are accessible with just one change in Paris or Brussels.

Germany’s Christmas markets are legendary for their size and range of quality gifts, food and setting in the historic centre. The nearest is at Aachen only just over 4 hours by train from London or Cologne only 6 hours away with 7 to choose from, the most famous by the iconic cathedral. Enjoy a warming Gluhwein and traditional Lebkuchen. Berlin has something for everyone from high culture to fabulous nightlife.

The weekly ski service to Austria offers easy connections to famous resorts such as Mayrhofen and Innsbruck by direct sleeper train from Paris.
