Share

Starting Dec. 14, train travel time between Paris and Brussels will be slashed by 33 minutes, to one hour, 25 minutes. The reason is the opening of a 40-mile stretch of high-speed track in Belgium, said a Rail Europe spokeswoman. Trips from Paris to Amsterdam and to Cologne, Germany, also will get shorter.

The Paris-Brussels trains will run every 30 minutes during rush hour. One-way fares will be $58 coach and $89 first class. Advance reservations are recommended, through a travel agent or Rail Europe; tel. (800) 4EURAIL.
