Starting planning and saving on your winter getaway

Make the most of your upcoming winter travels by booking your ticket now and planning a season packed with unforgettable activities! The cities Eurostar serves are full of winter charm—some you can explore spontaneously, but to get you inspired, here are a few must-do experiences to add to your list.

Experience that quintessential Parisian winter charm

• Take in the festive decor and dazzling window displays of the luxury fashion houses along the Champs-Élysées.
•  Explore the seemingly endless holiday markets at Tuileries Garden, Hôtel de Ville, the Eiffel Tower, Montmartre and more.
• Ice skate with charming views as you glide on outdoor rinks set against stunning backdrops like the Grand Palais and La Défense.
• Catch a seasonal opera or ballet by booking a performance at the exquisite Opera Bastille, Palais Garnier or even the Palace of Versailles for a night of culture—and a chance to dress up.
• Step back in time at the Festival du Merveilleux at Musée des Arts Forains, a festive fairground filled with acrobats, dancers, musicians and quirky activities for all ages. This year’s festival runs from 27 December to 5 January—book early to secure your spot.
• If winter weather shifts your plans, pivot and head to the iconic covered passages of Paris for cosy cafés and timeless shops.

See London's holiday hits

• For all the holiday feels, book tickets for The Nutcracker or another seasonal classic, like A Christmas Carol, on the West End.
• Take in the city centre like never before while ice skating at the stunning Somerset House or the grand Hampton Court Palace.
• Have a night at the museum and explore the city’s world-class museums during their special late-night events. 
• See all the amazing twinkling holiday lights in the city on a cosy Christmas Lights by Night bus tour.
• And, of course, don’t miss a stop at the Southbank Centre Winter Market and Hyde Park Winter Wonderland, chock-full of delicious food, classic rides and perfect last-minute shopping.

Take a sweet winter escape to Brussels

• Get more than just a taste of Belgium’s world-famous chocolate on a dedicated day tour that delves into the yummy craft this country has perfected.
• Stroll through some of the world’s most legendary Christmas markets, right in the heart of Brussels. Discover hundreds of charming stalls filled with seasonal trinkets, along with curling and ice rinks, delicious seasonal street food and a daily snow and light show.
• If you’re visiting in January, don’t miss the Brussels Jazz Festival in the delightful Flagey Square, featuring both local and international artists performing in front of a beautiful backdrop.
• Explore the Royal Greenhouses of Laeken, where natural beauty meets man-made wonders in the stunning indoor tropical gardens. Note that these are open to visitors only during a limited time, so schedule your visit accordingly. 

Glide, gaze and graze in Amsterdam

• Amsterdam offers stunning views of the famous Rijksmuseum from the ice—add ice skating at Museumplein to your must-do list, and if the canals freeze over, you might even get the chance to skate right on them!
• Enjoy the holiday decor and festive atmosphere as you wander through the markets, galleries, bars, restaurants and shops in the Jordaan neighbourhood.
• Leisurely walk the canals and explore holiday markets filled with cosy treats, twinkling lights and charming decorations. Don’t miss winter favourites like the Christmas Village, Funky Xmas Market, Winter Paradise and the Sustainable Christmas Market.
• Embrace the chilly weather and stock up on warm threads as you shop around the city—whether you’re seeking luxury finds, vintage treasures or locally crafted goods, Amsterdam’s shopping scene has it all.

Sip, savour and stroll chilly, yet charming Cologne

• You simply cannot talk about European Christmas markets without mentioning the legendary one set against the impressive Gothic cathedral in Cologne. Arrive hungry (and thirsty) because the nearly 200 booths serve up local favourites like gingerbread, roasted chestnuts, potato pancakes, wurst, craft beers and mulled wine.
• While you’re in the area, step inside the magnificent cathedral to admire its stunning stained glass windows, historic tombs, intricate chapels and overall grandiose atmosphere. Entry is free, but you can enhance your visit with a guided tour for a small additional cost.
• See the city from a different vantage point, and bundle up and hop on a Christmas cruise along the Rhine River for enchanting winter views.
• Any time of year is perfect for a visit to Cologne’s Chocolate Museum. Learn about the chocolate-making process and its journey around the world, all the way into your mittened hand.
