Has the UK’s recent snowy, blustery, goddamn freezing weather got you dreaming of somewhere else? Somewhere, perhaps, just maybe, ever so slightly warmer? Well, here’s just the thing. This week Eurostar is holding a flash sale with discounted tickets to the likes of Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam.
Between now and January 9 and 10.59pm, prospective travellers can snap up one-way Eurostar tickets for as little as £35. City break destinations Paris, Lille, Brussels, Amsterdam and Rotterdam are included in the deal (from London’s St Pancras International).
So, the Ts and Cs. If you’re up for Paris, Lille and Brussels, you’ll need to be travelling between January 14 and April 3 2025. For Amsterdam and Rotterdam, your travel dates will need to be between January 14 and March 28.
It’s worth knowing that not all travel dates are included in the sale (some Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays aren’t available for £35). There are also no services from the Netherlands to London until February 10, though there are trains from London to Amsterdam and Rotterdam.
So, what’re you waiting for? Book on the Eurostar website here.
Time Out and Eurostar
Big changes could be coming to Eurostar (and international rail travel out of London) in the next few years. St Pancras International could double its capacity, a new competitor Evolyn could launch, while both Deutsche Bahn and Richard Branson are reportedly interested in setting up their own rail connections with mainland Europe. Eurotunnel, which is in charge of the actual Channel Tunnel, wants to double the number of high-speed train journeys by 2034.
Europe’s best city break for 2025 has been crowned by Time Out.
