Cheap Train Holidays in Europe

When many people think of European holidays, they think of flying but there are other options for travelling to and within Europe. The Continent has a vast rail infrastructure which can be utilised for holidays. As well as an option for getting to a place, train travel in itself can be the holiday when you book a tour by rail.

Short breaks from the UK

The Channel Tunnel allows direct connections to Europe from London stations via Eurostar. Popular Eurostar holidays include breaks to romantic Paris and Bruges; the latter is arguably one of the most picturesque cities in Europe. Paris is served directly by Eurostar while Bruges is accessible via Brussels. Travel to these cities can be booked as part of an accommodation package or separately, allowing you greater choice of hotels, B&Bs and hostels.

Visit the Jewel of the Rhine

A rail travel package can take you to the beautiful city of Cologne, one of Germany’s oldest cities. Heavily bombed during the war, the city now mixes stunning restored historic buildings with a range of dazzling modern architecture. Cologne is a perfect choice for a rail break, as the train station is in the city centre and has a number of high-speed links across the continent. The statuesque Cologne Cathedral is one of the main attractions in the city. Visitors can view the exquisite main hall for free, though additional parts of the cathedral have a small admittance fee. To experience the full beauty of Cologne, cross the Rhine by the Hohenzollern Bridge and walk along the Rhine Promenade, with spectacular views back across the city and the Old Town, returning over the Deutzer Bridge.
