1. Paris
Of course. With Eurostar prices starting at just £69 return, Paris is the ideal city for a romantic break away. Especially when you can be snapping away at the Eiffel Tower in a little over 2 hours from London. What's more you can enjoy 2 for 1 entry into some of the city's finest exhibitions - just by showing your Eurostar ticket.Book your train ticket to Paris today - from only £69 return.

Picture-perfect Bruges is only a 3-hour train journey from London. Jump on the Eurostar to Brussels and then an Intercity train to Bruges city centre. With prices starting at just £81 return, think of all the extra pennies you'll have to spend on chocolate. Those Belgians are famous for it after all.Bruges by train from only £81 return - book now.

3. Amsterdam
Experience Amsterdam's relaxed and yet energetic atmosphere this Easter. There's so much to do in Amsterdam you won't know where to start. Visit the van Gogh Museum or Anne Frank's House for a spot of culture or history. Get a shot of you on the skinny bridge over the River Amstel - it appeared in Diamonds are Forever.Book your train to Amsterdam today, from only £116 return.

4. Strasbourg
Is it French? Is it German? We like to think it's a bit of both. Nestled quietly on the French/German border, Strasbourg is a mere 4 ½ hours from London by train. Take a trip to the haunted cathedral and climb right to the top - the views of the city are amazing.Book your ticket to Strasbourg today from just £99 return.

5. Cologne
This one definitely is German. Cologne is less than 4 hours by train from London and will charm the pants off of you. Its majestic Dom Cathedral is Germany's most visited attraction; dating back to 1248, it took over 6 decades to build and once boasted to be the world's most tallest building. It's not all culture though, chocoholics will simply love Cologne's Chocolate Museum.Book your London to Cologne train ticket today. Prices start from just £105 return .
