Route overview
The journey from Brussels to Paris by train begins at Brussels-Midi and arrives at the iconic Gare du Nord in Paris. Operated by Eurostar, it covers about 300 kilometers in under 90 minutes, reaching speeds of up to 300 km/h. On my trip, we even arrived two minutes ahead of schedule! If you're still deciding on how to get there, you can always compare buses from Brussels to Paris on Omio. But for me, nothing matches the Eurostar’s speed, comfort and ease of traveling, from city center to city center. The views of the French countryside are also a nice bonus!
Transportation experience
When I ask myself, “Should I take the train or bus from Brussels to Paris?”—I always end up choosing the train for its comfort and speed. For more options, you can check out flights from Brussels to Paris on Omio—but, trust me, you'll want to choose the train! Booking on Omio was a breeze. The ticket for the Brussels to Paris train appeared instantly in my email, so it was always at my fingertips. Brussels-Midi feels like a giant shopping mall with plenty of shops and eateries. Here, I grabbed a quick lunch before finding the departure boards and clear signage that guided me straight to the platform.
Departure station
Brussels-Midi is easy to reach by bus, tram, or metro, and the station itself feels like a mini-shopping mall with cafés, restaurants, shops, and even a supermarket. If you’d like to explore the city before boarding, you can stow your luggage in the lockers and return hassle-free.

Onboard experience & services
I traveled in Eurostar Plus on the Brussels to Paris train service. The seats were quite nice, with decent legroom, and the big windows made it easy to relax and soak in the views. There’s plenty of space for your bags, with overhead racks and additional luggage zones. Need Wi-Fi and power sockets? You’ve got them! Craving a snack or light meal? Just head to the onboard cafeteria and indulge. If gazing out at the rolling plains of Northern France is more your speed, go ahead! This is the kind of journey that invites you to unwind and simply enjoy 90 minutes of blissful relaxation, which is exactly what I did.

Ticketing advice & budget breakdown
I recommend booking your Brussels to Paris train tickets at least a month in advance. This is the best way to score great fares—prices can start as low as €65 for a one-way trip! Fares are dynamic, though, so if you’re traveling on a busy service like I did, you might end up paying a little more. This trip cost me €99. Still a good deal for 300 kilometers at high speed in Eurostar Plus! Here's a
| Item | Cost (eur) |
|---|---|
| Ticket price | €99 |
| Food & drinks | €24 |
| Travel to departure station | € |
| Travel from arrival station | € |
| Total | € 123 |
Top tips & recommendations
- Book your ticket well in advance: Ideally more than one month ahead to secure the best prices.
- Arrive early at Brussels-Midi for peace of mind: Explore the shops and grab a bite while you wait.
- Choose a window seat on the right side: This will provide you with unrivaled views of the French plains.
- Leave your worries behind and relax: This trip is all about enjoying the ride!
Conclusion
I’m glad I tried the conventional train from Brussels to Paris and will certainly use it again. It’s fast, comfortable, offers lovely views, and leaves you relaxed on arrival. My verdict? Try it—and book your seat with Omio for peace of mind!

Advantages
PunctualityspeedDisadvantages
NoneThe train was very punctual and within a short time (approx. 1:30h) you cover a distance that would take about 4 hours by car. The price of €99 is absolutely fine. The cleanliness of the train is also impressive. There are enough sockets on the train to charge your mobile phone.
Advantages
Direct connectionDesignspeedDisadvantages
limited wifiInsufficient luggage areasI travelled on the Thalys 9448 first from Cologne to Brussels and then the last stretch from Brussels to Paris. On this route, the train accelerates to over 300 km/h, so the journey takes less than an hour and a half! The train was on time and I found the red-coloured design of the train particularly appealing. The seat was comfortable and offered me good opportunities to work thanks to the power socket and wifi (which is quite limited in second class). The toilets, which were formally separated by gender, were cramped but clean. The luggage racks by the doors were also a bit cramped, although I was lucky as there was still enough space in Cologne.
I had only bought my non-cancellable ticket a month beforehand, so the journey wasn't a bargain, but it wasn't overly expensive either.
Advantages
Short journey timeDisadvantages
ExpensiveOvercrowdedUnfortunately, the train was very crowded with passengers on the journey from Brussels to Paris. The price wasn't exactly the cheapest either, in my opinion. Nevertheless, I was able to book the ticket very easily online without any problems. I really liked the fact that I arrived at my destination very quickly and didn't have to change trains. I liked the well-maintained toilets and the very good wifi during the journey.
Advantages
Beautiful viewGood hygieneDisadvantages
Expensive in terms of priceI travelled to Paris on the Eurostar 9302. The journey from Brussels offered a very nice view and the hygiene on the train was also very good. Everything made a freshly cleaned impression. Unfortunately, there was hardly any service, but at least the on-board bistro was open, where I got something to eat. The train's wifi also worked without any problems and all in all I was satisfied with the journey
Advantages
Fast driveDisadvantages
Expensive in terms of priceI travelled to Paris on the Eurostar 9302. As I was travelling from Brussels, I had a new experience on my journey. I had never seen a view like this before and luckily the weather was fine. The service was very nice and the hygiene was also in good condition. Unfortunately, the on-board bistro was not open, but I didn't need it for the short journey. The price was a little too expensive for the relatively short journey.
Advantages
FastCleanComfortableQuietGood serviceDisadvantages
Very expensiveMany peopleThe train journey from Brussels to Paris was very pleasant overall and deserved four stars. The speed of the train was particularly impressive - you were in the French capital in no time at all. The comfort also left nothing to be desired, the seats were comfortable and the service on board was excellent. Everything seemed clean and hygienic, which made travelling particularly pleasant. Unfortunately, the price of the journey was quite high and the train was very full, which spoilt the overall impression somewhat. Nevertheless, a recommendable travelling experience.
Advantages

Poor wifiThe connection from Brussels to Paris was quite pleasant. The scenery along the route was very beautiful and picturesque. The train was generally well maintained and the staff were always friendly and courteous. Unfortunately, the wifi was a bit sensitive and occasionally broke down.
Advantages
DirectFastRelaxingModern equipmentPlenty of spaceDisadvantages
Extremely expensiveThe Eurostar journey from Brussels to Paris was a very positive experience overall.
The journey only took 1 hour and 22 minutes, which I found extremely pleasant. In this short time you have the opportunity to sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery. The train was on time, which is an important factor for me.
The interior of the train was modern and comfortable. The seats were comfortable and offered enough space to feel at ease during the journey. The cleanliness of the train was also exemplary. The wifi was stable, which made it easy to work or wifi while travelling.
The staff on board were friendly and helpful. They were always available to answer questions and made sure that all passengers felt comfortable.
The only downside was the price of the tickets. These were quite high compared to other modes of transport, which made the journey a little less attractive. I would have liked there to be cheaper options to make the trip accessible to more travellers.
Overall, I can highly recommend the Eurostar train journey from Brussels to Paris. Despite the higher price, the positives outweigh the negatives and I would take the journey again at any time!

Reservations were not displayedMy journey from Brussels to Paris was very good. The train arrived on time and the staff gave me a friendly welcome at the door. When I asked for my seat, they also described how to get there in detail. The train was very quiet and very clean. The toilets all worked and there were power sockets and a stable wifi connection at my seat. Overall, the ticket was relatively cheap for the route and journey time. What I was most pleased about was that I didn't have to change trains! The only downside, however, was that no seat reservations were displayed on the train. But that wasn't so bad, as the staff were always helpful.
Advantages
Short journey durationNo changesClean trainDisadvantages
Minor delayI travelled from Brussels to Paris by train and have a lot of positive things to say about the journey. The journey time was extremely short and I didn't have to change trains. The train was technically sophisticated and in a clean and well-maintained condition. The staff were friendly, helpful and available to answer questions. Tickets were booked at the ticket counter, which was also straightforward. The only thing that bothered me a little was the slight delay of the train.
Advantages
Good wifiDisadvantages
OvercrowdedI didn't particularly like this train journey and I didn't think it was particularly bad, but not good either. The ticket price was a bit expensive, but I didn't have to change trains and the train had good wifi. The toilets were a bit dirty though. However, the train was very crowded and there were a lot of people on the train. The train was also slightly late, which meant that I reached my destination a little late.

Intercity
About
Intercity is a broad classification for express train services that connect cities over longer distances than commuter or regional trains, often with limited stops and comfortable carriages for long-distance travel. The term "InterCity" originated with British Rail in 1966 for its electrified West Coast Main Line services.Today, "Intercity" or "IC" is a brand name used by various railway operators across Europe and other parts of the world, including PKP Intercity in Poland, Trenitalia in Italy, and services in countries like Sweden and Ukraine. These trains typically offer both Standard and First Class seating, with amenities such as power sockets and luggage space. While some Intercity services are modern and high-speed, others may use older rolling stock, with speeds generally up to 160 km/h (100 mph).
