The best Eurostar breaks – to France by Eurostar or to Brussels by Eurostar and TGV?
I often go to France, since I like the atmosphere of the cities there and it's suitable for a short break since it is so accessible. Over the years I have spent several short breaks as well as longer trips in Paris and other french cities such as Lille, Dijon, Marseille and Rheims.
But you know, France can be very similar all over due to the centralised state and homogenous culture. It's lovely, but it's always French. So how about eurostar breaks to Brusses or Bruges or even Amsterdam for a change?
Have your weekend break in Bruges. I was wondering how to spend a weekend and came across this option: Take the Eurostar and have a break in Bruges with all those fantastic waterside vistas and ancient buildings. I aquired a tatse for flemish food when I was in Lille, so this seemed to be the next logical step for us. And there are many other interesting destinations in France and the Benelux.
My husband and I would like to book a day trip to Bruges on Eurostar from St Pancras on 12th July (our 40th Wedding Anniversary) We would like a deal on first class and we are both senior citizens
Eurostar breaks to Bruges can be booked first class to Brussels, the trip taking 1 hrs and 51 mins. Change trains in Brussels onto the half-hourly InterCity train to Bruges, no reservation required, which can be included in your Eurostar ticket.
