The Eurostar sale is valid on the following routes:

London <> Paris 

Whether it's a romantic getaway or Christmas shopping, Paris is one of the world's must-visit capital cities - and the Eurostar takes you right into the heart of the action. Gare du Nord station is a short metro ride away from iconic attractions like Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower.

London <> Brussels

With its delicious chocolate, crispy frites, and world-class beer, Brussels is a mecca for foodies. And then there's the architecture - the city boasts Gothic, Art Nouveau and Neoclassical buildings, including the iconic Grand Place. 

London <> Amsterdam

Amsterdam's scenic canals and fascinating museums make it one of Europe's most popular city break destinations - the Van Gogh Museum and Vondelpark are just some of the top attractions. When you arrive at Amsterdam Centraal, you can get everywhere on foot, too - much easier (and greener) than going by plane.

London <> Rotterdam

While Amsterdam may steal the limelight, Rotterdam is well worth a visit thanks to its quirky architecture and authentic Dutch vibes. For modern structures, don't miss the Cube Houses or the Erasmus Bridge, while for something more traditional, Delfshaven harbour won't disappoint. Rotterdam Centraal is close to it all.

London <> Lille

For a quick French city break, Lille has to be top of your list. This cultured city close to the border with Belgium promises exquisite cuisine and enchanting old town vibes - especially at Christmas. Be sure to visit Palais des Beaux-Arts and Grand-Place - each within walking distance from Lille Europe station.

Paris <> Cologne

While there aren't (yet) direct trains to Germany from the UK, you can easily reach Cologne from Paris. This historic city takes on a different kind of vibe during the winter months with its cosy Christmas markets. When you arrive at Hauptbahnhof, the city's Gothic cathedral greets you with sweeping views over the Rhine.

Marne-la-Vallée <> Brussels / Amsterdam 

The 50% off Eurostar Plus and Premier sales give you premium travel at standard prices - it’s almost like a free upgrade. 

This offer covers some of the best times of year, too. The sale is for travel between 28th July and 23rd September, covering the school holidays and late-summer weeks. But be quick, the sale is only on for 5 days from 9th to 13th July 2026.

Luckily, you don't need a discount code or anything like that - the saving is automatically applied when you search on TrainPal. Here's some inspiration to help you decide where to go:

Explore without the crowds

If you don’t have kids, you can explore in September when everyone’s back at school and fewer crowds make for a more intimate experience. The weather is still warm, too, and there are often great hotel deals.

City sunshine

Summer is one of the best times to explore Europe’s most vibrant cities. Think canal-side drinks in Amsterdam, alfresco dining in Paris, or wandering through Brussels’ historic squares in the warm evening light. Longer days mean more time to pack in the sights.

Festival season

From music festivals to cultural celebrations, summer is peak event season across Europe. Use the Eurostar sale to plan a trip around iconic events, whether it’s live music, food festivals, or open-air performances in stunning locations.

Family holidays

Make it an extra special family holiday this summer with a premium ride on the Eurostar at low prices. With spacious seating and no airport queues, Eurostar is a convenient way to travel with kids. Plus, you can use the savings to treat the family to extra experiences while you’re away.

If you've not travelled on the Eurostar before, you'll be pleased to know that it's way simpler than flying - it's a train, after all, and St Pancras Station is certainly not Heathrow or Gatwick. Here are a few pointers and tips to keep in mind when it comes to UK to Europe train travel.

Check-in and border control

You'll go through immigration for France, Belgium and the Netherlands before you board at London St Pancras International - meaning there's no stress when you get off the train in Europe. Arrive 60 minutes before departure, with a valid passport and remember to check entry requirements for your nationality. UK citizens need to complete the ETIAS travel authorisation before travelling. 

Oh and if you’re travelling in Premier, you can breeze through like a VIP with fast track.

Luggage

Eurostar is way more generous than airlines when it comes to bags - you can board with two larger suitcases (up to 85cm long) and one small piece of hand luggage. Best of all, there are no weight restrictions. This makes Eurostar a great choice for longer trips and if you plan to do some shopping in the January sales.

Travelling with children

There are discounted fares for children aged 4 to 11, while little ones under 4 go for free as long as they don't take up a seat. Remember, all passengers need to have their own passports. Onboard, you'll find family-friendly seating, space to store pushchairs and baby changing facilities. So you can go ahead and take your kids on a summer holiday safe in the knowledge you'll have a comfortable and hassle-free journey.

Pets

Only assistance dogs can travel on Eurostar services to and from the UK. If you want to take your pet to Europe, you'll need to look at other options like a ferry and car or flying.

Food and drink

You’re in for a culinary treat when travelling in Eurostar Plus and Premier. On trains to and from London, Eurostar Plus passengers can enjoy a choice of two delicious dishes and drinks served at their seats. As for those in Premier, you can indulge in fine dining and take your pick from chef-prepared, locally inspired cuisine. 

Wi-Fi and charging

Forget roaming charges or running out of battery - there's Wi-Fi available throughout the train with plug sockets to charge your phone, tablets or laptop at all seats.
