Carlisle to Paris, Brussels and the Continent by train
Back to the days countries were separate kingdoms, Carlisle was sometimes the last town in England before Scotland, and sometimes the last town in Scotland before England. Nicknamed the Border City, Carlisle today enchants for its breathtaking countryside: from Roman remains, castles and battlefields to contrasting rich pastures, natural woodlands and meandering rivers. That's a bit about Carlisle, but the best thing about Carlisle now, is that we have teamed up with several UK train operating companies so you can travel all the way to your continental destination paying just one price*.
There are lots of places to explore abroad... in Paris, cruise along la Seine in a relaxing sight-seeing boat or catch a glimpse of the Mona Lisa and other great works of art in Musée du Louvre. In Brussels, don't forget to see the amusing small bronze fountain sculpture, the Manneken Pis.
