You can also purchase a ticket at a European travel agency. Most agencies levy a fee on the purchase of tickets. Check if you're on a budget.
You can buy a Thalys ticket online through Rail Europe, or you can call them at 1-888-382-7245 in the U.S. or 1-800-361-7245 in Canada. You can also buy a ticket through a US travel agent.
Once you have a ticket, just locate the Thalys track (high speed track is different than run of the mill track, so Thalys will usually be specially marked). Finding your car is easy--look for the markings on the platform as in the photo.
Riding the Thalys is smooth and comfortable; you'll hardly notice the speed. Enjoy your trip.
