Fast and very highly styled, Eurostar runs regular express trains from its main station hub at London St. Pancras to a variety of destinations across the continent. With direct city centre access in most cases, the train really does take the strain out of travel these days. So here’s our top suggestions for some of the main highlights you could visit using the services of Eurostar.

You could just simply enjoy the journey through the tunnel and go as far as Calais to stock up on your duty frees, grab a decent lunch with some great French wine, and head back home all in one day, or linger and enjoy the seaside for a few days.

But few will pass on the chance to see Paris. With its magnificent open boulevards, famous Opera House and the soaring Eiffel Tower, the city of light remains one of the world’s foremost cities.

Lille has a lot of old world charm built into its cobbled quarters and impressive old buildings, but for fine food and fabulous Flemish architecture, vibrant Brussels takes a lot of beating. And whatever you do, don’t forget to bring home some of the best chocolate anywhere in the world.

You could continue on to beautiful Bordeaux, on France’s Atlantic coast where the world really is your oyster, or even northwards to Amsterdam, with its canals lined by gabled houses and bustling, lively squares.

If winter in England leaves you cold, why not make a run for Nice, the smart, highly styled Queen of the French Riviera, with its beautiful seafront promenade and serried, shingle beaches. The climate is balmy even in January, and lacks the crowds of the summer season. By contrast, Cannes is a touch more modern, and famous for its yearly film festival that attracts the famous each spring, as well as world famous hotels like the Carlton where the Riviera lifestyle plays out on a glittering stage.

Heading the other way, you could strike out for the ancient German border city of Aachen, with its fabulous baroque architecture and bewitching cobbled streets that form a prelude to the mighty River Rhine.

Another tempting summer alternative is the French west coast port of La Rochelle, with its fourteenth century harbour guarded by a pair of brooding forts, row upon row of moored yachts and a waterfront lined by numerous bars, shops and restaurants.
