Hi all, I am looking into travelling to a few destinations around Europe with my family (potentially UK to Germany, Belgium and france and then back to UK) and visiting some of the cities Christmas markets, would getting the interail global pass over 7 days provide me with the passes we would need or would there be extra costs along the way? I have looked on the Eurostar website and the cost added quite quickly so am trying to work out the most efficient way to do this.

For pass reservations, use this page as a guide:

Eurostar pass reservations can't be booked on the Eurostar website. raileurope.com is currently the best place for those.

There are extra costs on the Eurostar, and for some of the high speed trains between France and Germany/ Belgium (although these can be avoided to some extent). Prices in the link that ​@rvdborgt posted.

Be sure to visit Strasbourg Christmas market. One of the best in my opinion. There are reservation-free travel options with regional trains from Germany.
