Eurostar Weekend Breaks

The speed of the trains makes Eurostar weekend breaks convenient and easy to arrange. If you're visiting Europe for a limited amount of time, you can take advantage of Eurostar weekend breaks or even a day trip. Travel time from London to Paris is only two and half hours and even less from London to Brussels. You have to reserve your tickets in advance, which you can easily do online before you've even arrived in Europe.

Compared to the United States, Western Europe is quite small, and you can travel easily between countries. The building of the tunnel between England and France, also called the Chunnel, has facilitated travel even more. You can also take a Eurostar weekend break to Brussels from England, and the travel time is only slightly more than two hours.

Eurostar Weekend Breaks to Disneyland
You can conceivably take a day trip to Disneyland Paris from London, or make it a weekend trip. Leave from London, and you'll arrive right in the heart of Disneyland Paris, where you'll be greeted by Disneyland characters. Trains leave as early as 5:30 in the morning if you want to get a full Disney day or even a full sightseeing day in Paris.

Even though the route is only a bit more than a couple of hours, children will receive a fun packet of things to do on the train, like Disney games, puzzles and magazines. The train also offers snacks and hot meals, depending on the class you travel. Any class offers incredible service by English speaking attendants, and accommodations are luxurious. The Eurostar weekend breaks have made European sightseeing a breeze.
