Visit Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg if you...
...enjoy exploring pretty towns and cities. The Benelux countries are hidden gems, packed with picturesque towns, attractive countryside and vibrant cities like Amsterdam and Brussels. Sample the local food and drink - beer and chocolate are often specialities - and soak up the laid-back atmosphere.
Going by train
Travelling by train from the UK to the Benelux countries is simple. High speed Eurostar trains to Brussels connect easily with Thalys services and local trains around the area. And you can now travel high speed to Luxembourg on the new TGV Est Européen service from Paris. If you're booking a ticket to The Netherlands, ask for a Eurostar ticket to any Dutch station.
