You can currently secure tickets to Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam direct, Rotterdam direct or Lille in the 2026 Easter Eurostar sale. Fares start at £35 each way, with only five days left to book, until midnight on Tuesday 14 April 2026. Journey dates run from 22 April to 10 July 2026, covering everything from late Easter breaks to early summer city escapes.

Eurostar’s high-speed trains depart from London St Pancras and arrive in the centre of each destination, no airport queues, no strict carry-on limits (so there’s more space for bringing home fresh boulangerie bakes), no terminals miles from the city centre. More importantly, it’s the greenest way to travel across the Channel. A train journey from London to Paris emits up to 93% less CO₂ per passenger than flying the same route. 

What To See In Each City This Season

Paris: Renoir and Love at Musée d’Orsay

Paris is always a good idea, and this spring, the Musée d’Orsay presents one of the most anticipated exhibitions of 2026. Renoir and Love runs from 17 March to 19 July 2026 and celebrates how affection, connection and human relationships shaped the Impressionist master’s work during a defining period from 1865–1885. Co-organised with the National Gallery in London and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, this landmark retrospective brings together masterpieces that have rarely been shown together since 1985. Highlights include Renoir’s iconic Luncheon of the Boating Party and Bal du Moulin de the Galette, alongside portraits and scenes that capture the joy of late-19th-century Parisian social life. The exhibition offers a new perspective on how Renoir approached love within the changing cultural fabric of his era. Book tickets in advance via Musée d’Orsay’s official site to avoid queues. 

Brussels: Tosca at La Monnaie

Brussels is home to one of Europe’s most prestigious opera houses, and this summer, the Théâtre Royal de La Monnaie (also known as De Munt) stages Puccini’s dramatic masterpiece Tosca. Running from 17 June to 1 July 2026 with 11 performances, this staged revival is directed by acclaimed Belgian director and features both French and Dutch supertitles. Tickets are available through La Monnaie’s website.

Amsterdam: From Vermeer to Van Gogh at Fabrique des Lumières
