High-speed rail service Eurostar is offering special, limited prices of £59 and £149 return for Standard and Standard Premier travel to Paris, Brussels or Lille between 19 January and 29 March.

With plenty of the special £59 return Standard class fares available for midweek travel this is the perfect time to book a reviving day trip or a relaxing long weekend. ‘Winter blues busters’ can also treat themselves to a more luxurious journey for less as Eurostar is offering Standard Premier fares from only £149 return for travel during the same period.

What’s more, when passengers arrive in their chosen destination their Eurostar ticket gives them much more than travel alone with a range of enticing ‘Eurostar Plus’ offers and discounts.

‘Eurostar Plus Culture’ offers travellers 2-for-1 entry into paying exhibitions at selected top museums and galleries in Paris, Brussels and Lille, simply by showing their Eurostar ticket. So whether they’re visiting the Grand Palais, Galeries Nationales in Paris or the Musical Instrument Museum in Brussels, there’s plenty to keep them entertained over the coming months.

Eurostar Plus Gourmet’ offers also give passengers up to 50% discounts on meals at popular restaurants in Paris, Brussels and Lille, by booking their table via www.eurostarplus.co.uk/gourmet and presenting their Eurostar ticket at the restaurant on arrival.

Nick Mercer, Commercial Director for Eurostar said: “Many of our travellers like to travel midweek as our destinations and their tourist attractions tend to be less busy. These discounted fares give everyone the perfect excuse to treat themselves to a getaway for less. After all, with £59 return fares to Paris, Brussels or Lille and exclusive offers for museums, restaurants and shopping when you’re there, this is an offer not to be missed.”
