Finding and Taking the Eurostar

To ride the Eurostar, you must first find it. The dedicated terminal is not well marked, and getting there can be confusing. For departures to London, go up the escalator opposite platform 17, then walk along the balcony towards platform 3. You’ll need to arrive at least 30 minutes before departure to leave time for check-in and security and customs checks. Gels and liquids are allowed onboard, however knives and aerosols are not.
