Eurostar is now taking bookings for fans to travel to Germany for the FIFA World Cup 2006 to be held during June and July. With fares from London or Ashford to Cologne from just £69 return, high-speed rail is one travel alternative for football fans who want to make the most of the matches in Germany, Eurostar explains.
According to the high-speed train operator, fans can travel from London or Ashford to Brussels where a simple connection onto high-speed ICE or Thalys services will take them on to Cologne which takes just over 5 hours, an hour less from Ashford. With only a 30-minute check-in at the UK terminals, Eurostar says the rail is the comfortable, sociable alternative for traveling to and from the matches.
Eurostar is taking both individual and group bookings through a dedicated booking line on 08457 660 421. To maximize accessibility to the towns and cities hosting the matches, Eurostar is also selling German rail passes for periods of unlimited travel within the country. For England fans, this provides the flexibility to travel to Berlin on July 9.
