Trip Summary
-
Brussels
Brussels is sumptuous, historic and luxuriously cozy. What makes Brussels special? For visitors, it's full of delights - Grand Place, mussels with chips, pralines, under crowded museums, intimate hotels, Art Nouveau, Horta, Tintin and unbelievable beers. Modern edifices are only a few steps from the cobbled streets, splendid cafés, and graceful Art Nouveau architecture that speak to the city's eventful past. The city's spirit survives in traditional cafes, bars, bistros, and restaurants. Whether elegantly Art Nouveau or eccentrically festooned with posters, curios, and knickknacks, such centuries-old establishments provide a warm, convivial ambience that is peculiarly Belgian.
Enjoy the Grand-Place, Cantillon Brewery, Mini-Europe, Belgian Comic Strip Center, Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, Saint-Michel Cathedral and so much more! -
Bruges
With the city center closed off to cars, all the architectural and artistic treasures, folklore, chocolate shops, lace boutiques, and ambient restaurants the unforgettable city of Bruges can be easily explored on foot, by boat ride along quiet canals, or by horse-drawn carriage among cobblestone streets. Take your time and fully enjoy what this city has to offer, there is so much to experience in this city that has also made the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. Visit the Bruges' Markt (main square), Belfry, Basilica of the Holy Blood, Stadhuis (Town Hall), Liberty of Bruges, Groeninge Museum, Church of Our Lady, Memling Museum, Sint Jansspitaal, Beguinage, Dijver Mansions, Minewater Lake, De Hale Maan Brewery, and so much more!

Antwerp
Antwerp is a small metropolis, but it's definitely a vast treasure trove of adventures, cultures, and experiences! Over the years up to today, people have called it a lot of things: the city of diamonds, the city of fashion, the city on the Scheldt, the city of Rubens, and the port city, and it is definitely all of these things, as well as being a city full of charm, culture and sophistication. If you enjoy engaging museums and galleries, excellent gastronomy, hunting down street art and sculptures, alongside sipping some of Belgium's finest beers in trendy bars and old-school cafes, then this is the city for you. Visit the Grand Place (Grote Markt), Cathedral of Our Lady, Antwerp Zoo, Chocolate Nation, Museum aan de Stroom (MAS), Rubens' House (Rubenshuis), Red Star Line Museum, and so much more!

Rotterdam
Europe's largest and busiest port, Rotterdam is also the most modern city in The Netherlands. The symbol of the city is the Euromast Space Tower (605ft/184m) from which you have an excellent view over the city. One of Rotterdam's main attractions is Diergaarde Blijdorp, the extensive zoo that includes the impressive Oceanium, where visitors can walk through the huge shark tunnel surrounded by sharks and giant tortoises. Another worth visiting place is the Boymans-van-Beuningen Museum displaying a beautiful collection of painting, sculpture and design.
Visit the colorful Markthal, Erasmus Bridge, Cube Houses, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, the SS Rotterdam and so much more! -
Amsterdam
Easygoing, liberal Amsterdam is "different." Its citizens, bubbling along happily in their multiracial melting pot, are not so easily poured into the restrictive molds of trade and industry. More important, you can enjoy Amsterdam, its culture, history, and beauty, without stretching the limits of your credit cards. Few skyscrapers mar the clarity of the sky and the populace mostly walks or bikes from place to place. The historic center recalls Amsterdam's Golden Age as the command post of a vast trading network and colonial empire, when wealthy merchants constructed gabled residences along neatly laid-out canals. Visit Dam Square, Anne Frank House, Bloemenmarkt, Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Canal Belt, Jordaan, Red Light District and so much more!
