The exact price will vary based on a number of conditions...are you traveling first or second class? Are you traveling in a seat or reserving some sleeping accommodation? Are you traveling only by the fastest trains possible or are you willing to take slower trains or multiple connections in order to save money? Are you willing to look at international discounts as an option? And so on...

Since both of these trips originate in Germany, look at www.bahn.de (the official rail website for Germany), and on the upper right, select "English" from the pull down menu (or whicever language you prefer)...

P.S. If your trips are from Köln (Cologne), why did you post this in the Düsseldorf forum? Did you mean Düsseldorf instead?

hehe maybe he's siding with those Düsseldorf local patriots who maintain that Cologne is a suburb of Düsseldorf... hehe, mind you there also are Cologne patriots who maintain exactly the opposite viewpoint... :)

The trains from Cologne to Amsterdam stop in Düsseldorf.
Specials for these trains are however still from EUR 29,00. Despite the somewhat shorter distance. Normal tickets are of course a bit cheaper from Düsseldorf than from Cologne.

No real change towards Paris, i.e. still Thalys from Cologne. The part of the route to Paris from Brussels is exclusively served by the Thalys highspeed trains.
From Düsseldorf to Cologne use the RE trains (EUR 9,30). Not much slower than the far distance trains - but cheaper. And this VRS/VRR ticket does also cover the trams and buses in both cities.

I would be staying at Hotel Zum Walde in Stolberg and daily going to Dusseldorf to see the exhibiton on our group bus. On the last day I can go to Dusseldorf , Cologne or Aachen . Aachen is also close to stolberg. I wish to visit Amsterdam , Brussel and Paris. Actually i just have 5-6 days and I wish to see a glimpse of europe as this is my first travel to europe.
