In addition to Amsterdam, the "Venice of the North", other highlights of this trip include Rotterdam, Ghent, Antwerp and Brussels, the capital of the European Union.

In the morning, you will arrive in Arnhem, one of Europe’s most unique cities.

In the morning, you can choose to join the city tour of Arnhem. On this excursion, you will get to appreciate its beautiful sights and delve deeper into the history and atrocities of World War II at the War Museum.
For your afternoon entertainment, choose between a trip to the Open Air Museum and the Kröller-Müller Museum. The Open Air Museum offers visitors a look at charming Dutch buildings, industries and crafts of bygone times, while the Kröller-Müller Museum houses the second-largest collection of Van Gogh paintings in the world.

In the afternoon, you can join the Bruges excursion. Bruges, the capital of the province of West Flanders, is home to one of the most charming city centers in Belgium and is also known as the “Venice of the North” thanks to its many canals.

You will also pay a visit to the Cinquantenaire Park with its triumphal arch, built to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Belgium’s independence.
In the afternoon, explore Antwerp in a comfortable coach.

Alternatively, you can marvel at the Rotterdam port, Europe’s largest seaport, during a harbor cruise, and discover local delicacies in a visit to the iconic Market Hall thereafter.
After lunch, you can explore the world-famous Keukenhof gardens or take a tour to the lovely canal town of Delft, renowned for its Delft Blue ceramics which have been manufactured and hand painted there since the seventeenth century.
