Questions about this trip

Is 4 days enough for Paris?

Four days covers the main sights if you move efficiently each day. Book Louvre and Eiffel Tower tickets online two weeks ahead.

Do I need to book train tickets from Paris to Bruges in advance?

Yes. Book the Eurostar from Paris to Brussels two weeks ahead for the best fares, then take a regular Belgian train on to Bruges. The whole trip takes about two and a half hours.

Should I book the Anne Frank House ahead?

Book the Anne Frank House online at least one month in advance. Slots fill quickly and same-day tickets are rarely available.

Is a rail pass cheaper than point-to-point tickets for this route?

Point-to-point tickets bought early cost less than a Eurail pass for these four cities. Book each leg separately on official sites two to four weeks ahead.
