The diverse Benelux tour

Today your adventure begins as you embark on the 3‑hour journey through Rhineland wine regions, idyllic villages and green landscapes towards Cologne, the vibrant metropolis on the Rhine. As soon as you leave the central station, you will find yourself standing in front of the imposing cathedral. Take a stroll through the city and enjoy a glass of Kölsch. Overnight stay in Cologne for 1 night.

Stroll along the Rhine promenade and enjoy the magnificent views. A short detour through the old town—with its cobblestone streets, colourful houses and small breweries—takes you back to the station. In just 2 hours, the ICE will take you to Utrecht. Among medieval towers, idyllic canals and lively streets, you will discover the lesser‑known but equally charming “little brother” of Amsterdam. Overnight stay in Utrecht for 1 night.

After breakfast, you can make your way comfortably to the station. A direct connection to Amsterdam runs every 30 minutes. After a 30‑minute journey, you will arrive right in the heart of the city, in the impressive historic station building an architectural masterpiece. Overnight stay in Amsterdam for 2 nights.

Explore the city by bike, just like the locals. Or admire the beautiful scenery from the water on a canal cruise. Learn fascinating facts at the Rijksmuseum or take a detour to the Van Gogh Museum. Or experience a story that truly touches the heart at the Anne Frank House. In the evening, Amsterdam comes to life — end your day in countless ways.

Make your way to the stylish Belgian metropolis of Antwerp. Direct connections take you to Belgium comfortably and stress‑free in just 1 hour and 30 minutes. Gather your first impressions in this fashion and design capital as you explore the historic city centre. Numerous museums and charming boutiques line the cobblestone streets. Overnight stay in Antwerp for 1 night.

The capital of Europe awaits. Sit back and relax during the 40‑minute journey before arriving in the modern city of Brussels. Already on your way to the hotel, you can admire impressive facades and beautiful architecture. Overnight stay in Brussels for 3 nights.

Start your day at the very heart of Brussels: the Grand‑Place. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is surrounded by magnificent guild houses. As you stroll through the streets, keep an eye out for the famous Manneken Pis — small fountain figures that have become symbols of Brussels’ unique sense of humour. The Royal Palace and the Parlamentarium are also well worth a visit. End your evening with Belgian fries and a beer.

Today, a trip to the North Sea awaits you. By train, you will reach the charming coastal town in 1 hour and 20 minutes. Wide sandy beaches, fresh sea air, and a lively seaside promenade with restaurants and beach bars invite you to relax. Enjoy a restorative day by the sea and soak up the vibrant coastal culture.

Enjoy one last breakfast before your return journey begins. Take in the atmosphere of the city one final time. The ICE will take you comfortably back to Switzerland via Cologne.
