Hi there,
Any of you travel from Cologne to Brussel with Thalys speed train. Are they really cheaper? If we land with germanwings at 16.00 after how many time we will be able to take train to Brussel?
Thanks a lot

1) Cheaper then what?
2) You will need to get to the main station first. There you can take the train. They run about every two hours.

DB timetable

From: CGN
To: Brussel

The airport is not that big thus 1 hour after arrival should be sufficient.

From Cologne/Bonn Airport take train(train station near by with free shuttlle) to Cologne Main station (Hbf) do not get out at Cologne-Deutz, thou!
At Cologne Hbf you will need to chek on wich lane THAYLYS is leaving from, usualy is 4, but better chek.
I think there is THALYS at 19.00h to Paris , stopping at Aachen,Liege, Brussels,Lille and Paris Gare du Nord.
Yor stop is Burussels-Midi- Brussels Zuid
Chek prices on their website www.thalys.com
There is THALYS at 17.44.
I dont know when you travel, but if you book well in advance they are realy cheap.
For example in September (if you book now) they cost €15 one way.
Hope this helps.
