Want to get a taste of Belgium while you're in Amsterdam? You'll visit Belgium's two treasures, Antwerp and Brussels, on this full-day trip and discover beautiful architecture, centuries of history and delicious Belgian beer, waffles and chocolates!
Your first destination is beautiful Antwerp to visit the famous Market Square and cathedral. You'll have around an hour in Antwerp, the birthplace of Rubens and home of Belgium's largest Gothic church. You'll find a host of architectural wonders on every street waiting to be discovered.
You'll then take a scenic drive through the Belgian countryside to the lovely city of Brussels. You'll have approximately three hours in Brussels, touring the Royal Palace, seeing the buildings of the European Commission, the grave of the unknown soldier and, of course, the famous statue 'Manneken Pis'. You will also have time to visit a lace factory, go shopping (don't forget the Belgian chocolates!) or take a stroll around the historic town center.
Once you have spent time in Brussels and shopped for souvenirs, board the deluxe coach for your three-hour journey back to Amsterdam.
