Eurostar has begun selling tickets to six German cities from today.
Thanks to a new partnership with German high-speed rail operator, Deutsche Bahn, it is now offering tickets to Aachen, Cologne, Bonn, D-¼sseldorf, Frankfurt and Munich.
Tickets start from £49.50 for a one-way ticket to Aachen, Cologne, Bonn and D-¼sseldorf, from £79.50 to Frankfurt, and from £97.50 to Munich.
The Deutsche Bahn trains will connect with Eurostar’s services to Brussels Midi station.
There will be no seat reservations for the Deutsche Bahn portion of the journey, so passengers can take a later train if they would like to spend time in Brussels.
In addition to the six German cities available to buy via eurostar.com, a further six stations – Hamburg, Berlin, Hannover, Essen, Bremen and Duisburg – will be on sale exclusively via Eurostar’s contact centre.
Eurostar commercial director Nick Mercer said: "With over 6 million passengers currently travelling by air between London and Germany each year, we see huge potential to encourage more travellers to make the switch from air to high-speed rail."
