hey markus, so nice to see the new eurostar in your video! Normally we would say, we let you travel eurostar so we don't have to, but this is super nice! I would not even have looked at eurostar for the next few decades if not for watching your review.

How can I get from Midi to the Central Station in Brussels?

@MarkusTravels 16 күн бұрын

Pretty much all of the trains stop at Midi, Central and North stations. That's probably the most convenient option. You can also take the tram/bus and metro, but it's a bit more complicated.

If you buy them 5 months in advance ticket price is 29 Euro

I want to book Eurostar from Brussels to Paris CDG Only 1 train showing In itinerary But I have only 2.5 hrs transit if I take that train. I have to take a flight to Toronto from there If train is on time I think that option is fine If not I have to take the train to Paris Nord and then take RER B to CDG back

I don't know how reliable this train, as I've only tried it a handful of times. But I would not feel comfortable with 2.5 hours for a connection between Schengen and non-Schengen, regardless of the mode of transportation.

In netherlands u can choose 3 prize/ comfort categories in this eurostar. I wanted to take the middle category= called "comfort".but if that has the same small leg space like you have in this video: im not going to pay that amount: its no value for money.. it was 414 euros for 3 people amsterdam- marne la vallee paris.. my height is 190cm..

I'm not that tall, so for me the space was ok. Not excellent, but ok.

Nice video Did the train reach Paris on time I am going to take this journey in May

@MarkusTravels 10 ай бұрын

Yes, the train was perfectly on time. Since they run on dedicated high-speed tracks, I think it's easier to be punctual.

If you buy tickets 5 months in advance ticket price is 29 Euro. Now with Eurostar you can already buy tickets for July

Hi, how long did you wait for the security? I'm planning to give 1 hour buffer to catch the train. Is it enough? Also, do they require passport to check in?/passport control?

@MarkusTravels 7 ай бұрын

On my train from Brussels to Paris, there was no security check and no passport control. I haven't yet taken the Eurostar across the Channel though. One hour sounds like a good buffer.

Comfort vs regular one. Which one is better? Is it worth paying additional 15 euro to upgrade from the regular to comfort?

@MarkusTravels 7 ай бұрын

If the difference is only 15 euro, I would upgrade. Then you can get a solo seat, which I think is valuable.

I got the ones that face to each other. So. I'll be facing with stranger with 1:1 config. That will be awkward. omg.

thank you for this video, I don't speak french so I am very nervous about how I will go to paris from brussels😂 is not so confused right?

Don't worry about that. At the station and on the train, the staff will speak English. As well as Dutch and German. The Eurostar is a very international service.
