Will also be getting the train from Luxembourg to Metz on Friday. We land at 10.35 am. What is the best company to book train tickets with? Thanks.

Cool. Is the website just called trainline? The one above is showing up as £70 for a return for a Sat to Sunday return for March which seems very expensive but think vayages is taking comission maybe.

Looks like they are gonna be something around that price unless booked the day they are released on trainline europe.Might be some bit cheaper then, overall bus/coach will be far cheaper however longer. Opted myself for bus direct from brussels airport via luxembourg (£30 Ret) Paris should be less than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SY Cove Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I booked the Novotel in Metz for 3 nights, had a look this morning and saw its sold out, accommodation certainly is sparse in Metz, i'm hoping to go to Malta for the Italy game for 4 nights, fly to Munich from Malta then train through to Strasbourg, 2 nights in Strasbourg then the 3 nights in Metz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
