1. Montpellier, France
Why go there?
Montpellier’s one of France’s most seductive cities, yet one of the most underrated ones. This easy-going city in Southern France has a lot going for it: an attractive old town with sandstone buildings, narrow alleyways and numerous cosy corner cafés, elegant esplanades lined with trees, sun-drenched squares, fine-dining restaurants as well as authentic small bars, a setting nearby the sea and beaches… Surely you can see the allure.
How to get there?
TGV® offers direct trains to Montpellier departing from Brussels, Lille and Paris.
2. Rome, Italy
Why go there?
Not sure who’d have to ask this question, but we’ll spell it out for you anyway ;-) Spectacular Renaissance and Baroque fountains, architecture and monuments, amazing food and wines, ancient Roman ruins including the Roman Forum and of course the impressive Colosseum, topped with some shopping and must-visit art museums: Rome is a true bucket list destination.
How to get there?
From Paris, TGV® France-Italy high-speed trains will take you to Milan, from where you can board a domestic Italian (high-speed) train to Rome.
3. Split, Croatia
Why go there?
Apart from its hot climate, there are a number of reasons why you should visit Split. The town on the Dalmatian Coast has a listed Old town that includes Diocletian’s Palace, an ancient Roman palace built in the 4th century AD. If history’s not your thing, hit one of the popular beaches in the area or get amazing views of Split from Marjan Hill. And as a bonus, Split is the ideal starting point to go island hopping to Hvar, Vis, Brac, etc.
How to get there?
You can travel to or in Croatia with an Interrail (Global or One Country) Pass.
4. Aix-en-Provence, France
Why go there?
Also dubbed « the city of a thousand fountains », the capital of Provence is packed with artisanal shops, sun-drenched terraces, fashion boutiques, food markets, lively squares and Baroque architecture. Just outside of Aix, you’ll find the mountains and countryside (those splendid lavender fields included) that so inspired Paul Cézanne, perhaps the city’s most famous inhabitant.
How to get there?
Travel straight to Aix-en-Provence by TGV® from Brussels, Paris, Lille and (in Summer) by Eurostar Sun from Amsterdam.
5. Porto, Portugal
Why go there?
Radiating authentic Portuguese charm, Porto is the rise. The city features a mix of medieval and modern architecture and a historic centre that is picture-perfect and definitely worth a spot on your Instagram account. “Ribeira”, as Porto’s oldest neighbourhood is called, is an ensemble of medieval alleyways leading down to a riverside promenade lined with colourful houses and sun-drenched terraces. What’s not to like?

6. Barcelona, Spain
Why go there?
From the exquisite architecture of Gaudí, including the famous Sagrada Família and Park Güell, to the vibrant Las Ramblas promenade bustling with life, this Mediterranean gem has it all. The charming Gothic Quarter beckons with its winding streets, while the city's beaches offer a complete change of scenery. Whether you're into art, gastronomy, or simply soaking in the lively atmosphere, Barcelona promises an unparalleled journey.
How to get there?
Embark in Brussels onto the Eurostar and head to Paris Nord. Upon arrival, use one of the two daily journeys from the neighboring Paris Gare de Lyon station to Barcelona with TGV France-Spain.
