London city breaks
London may seem so familiar, in fact, that you might even feel at home from your first visit. But no two London breaks are the same: you might binge on musicals and theatre one weekend, for instance, or shopping and museums on your next visit. Whether you’re in the market for food, culture or nightlife, there’s a city trip to London just right for you. And the best part? This fun-loving, ever-changing city is just a train ride away.
City breaks in the Netherlands
Why not wile away the hours amongst canals, winding walkways and some of the most famous museums in Europe on a weekend getaway in Amsterdam? That’s not to forget the 600+ shops and markets, as well as the 1,500+ bars, restaurants and clubs.
But lively nightlife in the Netherlands isn’t just limited to Amsterdam. The city’s neighbour Rotterdam is ideal for European city breaks with a difference.
The famous port is also a vibrant university town, with great shopping and a buzzing night-time scene that caters to all-night partygoers, culture connoisseurs and jazz aficionados. And at just under four hours from London, it’s ideal for weekend breaks with friends.
City breaks in Germany
Get a culture fix in Cologne with its superb museums, art galleries, and concert halls. Old and very new architecture collide in this vibrant metropolis. Pockets of history remain throughout the landscape, from its ancient Roman sites to its famous Gothic cathedral.
The atmospheric spa town of Aachen has drawn visitors for two millennia. Culture-buffs will enjoy wandering the narrow, winding streets; foodies will love popping into the many bars, outdoor restaurants and cafes below pretty pastel-painted buildings; and those looking for a restorative trip can dip into some of the hottest thermal springs in Central Europe.
Düsseldorf is Germany’s wealthiest city and sits at the confluence of the Rhine and Düssel rivers. This elegant, clean and relatively small metropolis blends modern architecture, skyscrapers and an atmospheric old town.
Eurostar holidays
Sometimes a weekend away just isn’t enough. While a city break serves to whet the appetite, a longer break offers a tasting menu of treats. If you fancy hitting the slopes for skiing, snowboarding and a little après then head to the French Alps. For a longer break in France with Eurostar you can enjoy the coastal delights of the South of France or the wine and foodie treats of Bordeaux. Or why not opt for a longer stay for the whole family with Mickey and friends at Disneyland® Paris? Whatever your holiday of choice, we’ll take you to your dream destination.

FAQs
Hop aboard a Eurostar train and you'll never want to fly to Europe again. Forget the airport rush – you'll glide from city-centre to city-centre, with space to stretch out and time to enjoy the ride. It's simple, seamless and stress-free – everything travelling should be.
You can absolutely visit Europe without flying. With Eurostar, leave the runway behind and travel directly from London to some of Europe's most exciting cities by train. You'll avoid all the usual airport faff, from lengthy check-in queues to liquid restrictions, and arrive ready to dive straight in.
For a weekend away that really has it all, Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam are hard to beat. Think freshly-baked croissants by the Seine, beers in a dappled, sunlit square or canal-side strolls with a stroopwafel in hand – all just a few hours from London.
If you're after a short break that feels anything but small, Eurostar's direct routes deliver. Visit Brussels for food and flair, Paris for romance and culture, or Amsterdam for a creative buzz that's hard to beat. All less than a 4-hour journey away, each one is close enough for a quick escape, yet different enough to feel like a proper getaway.
