Train Journey through Flanders

Individual arrival by train to Brussels. You begin your journey in the capital of Europe. Already on the way to your hotel, you can admire impressive façades and beautiful architecture. Overnight stay in Brussels for 2 nights.

Begin your visit in the heart of Brussels: the Grand-Place. This UNESCO‑listed square is surrounded by impressive guild houses and forms the historical centre of the city. While strolling through the narrow streets, you will come across the famous Manneken Pis – a charming symbol of Brussels’ humour. The Royal Palace and the Parliament building are also close by and worth a visit. In the evening, the best way to unwind is with classic Belgian fries and a good beer.

Enjoy one last breakfast in Brussels before continuing your journey by train to Antwerp. Sit back and relax – in around 45 minutes you will comfortably reach a city with one of the most impressive railway stations in Europe. The very first view of this remarkable building is already worth the trip. From there, you can reach the city centre on foot in just a few minutes. Take in your first impressions and let the mix of historic architecture, modern creativity and open, vibrant atmosphere sink in. Overnight stay in Antwerp for 1 night.

In the morning, visit the Grote Markt in the historic city centre, with its magnificent guild houses and the majestic cathedral. Shopping enthusiasts will also find plenty to enjoy: innovative boutiques, trendy concept stores and international designers shape the city’s creative atmosphere. Continue your journey to Bruges. By high‑speed train, you will reach this medieval jewel in 1 hour and 30 minutes. Overnight stay in Bruges for 2 nights.

After a hearty breakfast, begin your city walk through this medieval town, filled with romantic canals, winding alleys, and historic brick façades. Enjoy a piece of handmade Belgian chocolate in one of the many cafés. For a spectacular alternative view of the city, take a boat tour along the canals. For dinner, choose a local restaurant and savour delicious, traditional Flemish cuisine.

Take in Bruges’ relaxed atmosphere one last time before continuing your journey to Ghent. Just a short train ride away, Ghent awaits you with its authentic charm and far fewer crowds. Regional trains connect the two cities regularly, with a travel time of around 25 minutes. Let yourself be captivated by the city’s impressive towers and picturesque canals. Overnight stay in Ghent for 1 night.

Ghent has a rich cultural scene. Visit world‑famous artworks such as the Ghent Altarpiece, explore fascinating museums or – depending on the season – one of the many festivals. In the heart of the city, you’ll find the impressive Gravensteen Castle and St. Bavo’s Cathedral. Enjoy Ghent’s youthful, lively and surprisingly green atmosphere during a break in a café or restaurant. Flanders, with its contrasts and unique charm, will surely remain a wonderful memory.
