Are you thinking of taking a trip to Europe this winter? If so, Eurostar is a convenient option for traveling to popular city destinations like Paris, Lille, and Amsterdam. And now, in celebration of their 30th birthday, Eurostar is having a huge flash sale with 30% off all routes and booking classes. But don't wait too long, the sale will only last three days - from November 12th to November 14th.
Wondering which destinations are included in the sale? The discount is available for travel between November 26, 2024 and February 13, 2025. You can book tickets to all Eurostar routes, including London to Paris, Lille, Brussels, Amsterdam, and Rotterdam. However, keep in mind that the trains to Amsterdam and Rotterdam require a connection in Brussels and the sale does not apply after February 9th for these two cities.
It's hard to believe that Eurostar has been serving passengers for 30 years now. And the idea of the Channel Tunnel, the world's longest undersea tunnel, was actually conceived in 1802, but construction didn't begin until 1988. It was finally completed in 1993 and Eurostar began its service in November 1994.
But let's get back to the flash sale. How cheap are the tickets? Well, at the moment there are some great deals available. For a long weekend in Paris in February, you can get a return ticket for as little as £78. And if you're heading to Lille, you can snag a return ticket for just £54 on the same dates. Even better, if you travel mid-week, the prices are even lower. For example, in January you can get a return ticket to Lille for just £54, to Brussels for £79, to Paris for £61, to Amsterdam for £92.50, and to Rotterdam for £90.50.
Lille may not be the first city that comes to mind when planning a European trip, but it shouldn't be overlooked. With its Flemish heritage and charming 17th-century red-brick townhouses, Lille has a lot to offer tourists. And don't miss out on La Piscine de Roubaix, an art museum located in a former swimming pool - a must-see for art lovers.
If you're wondering about transportation in Lille, trams and buses are the most efficient options. And here's a fun fact - Lille is actually known as the beer capital of France. So why not check out one of the historic craft breweries and attend the annual beer festival in September?
On a budget? Head to Marché Wazemmes on Place de la Nouvelle, one of the biggest markets in France, for great deals on produce and unique gifts. As for dining, Lille has some great options. L'Atelier Street Food is known for its pre-match atmosphere and Soho Urban Food offers a contemporary buffet-style restaurant with a delicious brunch and tasty cocktails.
If you're looking for a place to stay, consider Hôtel Brueghel. It's centrally located and close to Gare Lille Flandres, making it a convenient choice for travelers.
