Read on to find out how you and your family could be taking a FREE day trip to one of Europe’s most exciting city destinations, thanks to Eurostar.
This month, families can take advantage of an amazing special offer from Eurostar, with return tickets to major European destinations for just £58 per adult – and kids under 4 travel free!
With quick and convenient check-in, a seamless city-centre to city-centre journey, and a generous baggage allowance, the train is the perfect way for families to travel. Parents can sit back and relax in spacious surroundings, whilst children have the freedom to roam.

You could be entertaining the kids and soaking up the sunshine at the Paris Plages, with pop-up beaches, deckchairs and free music events. Or pack a picnic and head to the glorious Luxembourg Gardens, where you can play petanque and enjoy the view. You could even head out of the city and spend a day at Disneyland!
Don’t fancy Paris? Why not head to Brussels for the day, discovering how Tintin came to life at the Comics Art Museum? Or go to the Brussels Park Theatre and see the legendary adventures of Belgian puppet Guignolet come to life.
Eurostar passengers travelling to Paris and Brussels can also take advantage of 2 for 1 entry into a range of top museums and galleries including Musée d’Orsay and Grand Palais in Paris and Bozar in Brussels, all by simply showing their Eurostar tickets at entry.

I’ve got a two-year-old and a three-year-old and a husband. So three children in total! I’d simply want to soak up the Parisian atmosphere for the day, a picnic with croque monsieurs and limonade, a stroll along the river and a boat ride, topped off with patisserie and a proper chocolat chaud. Simples.
My boys love trains so this would be a fab prize!
We’d choose Brussels and head straight to get frites and mayonnaise (plus beer for the adults!) All about the culture…
What a fantastic opportunity! I’d absolutely love to take my partner and little sister to Paris! Take a walk along the river, soak up the sights and surprise my sister with a day at Disneyland! She’s a big Disney fanatic much like the rest of the family 😀

Love this giveaway! I’d take the 5 year old back to the Jardin du Luxembourg to sail boats on the pond. So much fun.
Ooooh, I think we’d head to Brussels too! What an exciting day that would be!
