We are flying to London in late October to early November and would like to visit Paris and Brussels, Bruges and Ghent.
Would the best way be to buy a Eurostar round trip London to Bruges (which seem to cost GBP 59 if bought well in advance), use local trains in Belgium, then buy a round trip Belgium to Paris (raileurope.com selling Thalys at $86 well in advance)? Train tickets are not yet available and seem to become available approx three months in advance.
Is there a better alternative?
