How to Travel From London to Paris, Amsterdam, and Brussels for Dirt Cheap

Whether you’re taking a gap year, looking to experience new cultures, or just plain need a vacation, a trip around Europe should be on your to-do list. One of the greatest parts about traveling through the Old Continent is that it’s easy to hop from one country to another, which means that you can ride gondolas through Venice on Monday and eat croissants in Paris by Wednesday!

Planning out how to get from one country to the next can be quite stressful, so luckily we found that you can travel to three famous European capitals for very cheap all from one place: London. Paris, Amsterdam, and Brussels are must-see spots for any globetrotter and, best of all, they are not that far from the British capital.

You may be asking how this is all possible while still keeping your wallet in tact. While many travelers have only heard of high-speed trains like Eurostar to get from London to Paris and beyond, tickets for those tend to be rather expensive. You can actually take the bus instead and save some serious cash.

We researched the cheapest bus tickets over a 30-day period and found really cheap bus tickets from London to Paris, Amsterdam, and Brussels. Whether you’re a London local or tourist and looking for a European hotspot to visit, you can use Wanderu to find some amazing deals.
