Cultural Antwerp & Capital Brussels: Day Trip from Amsterdam

Cultural Antwerp & Capital Brussels: Day Trip from Amsterdam

The perfect day trip to Belgium: cultural Antwerp and capital Brussels.

Antwerp is one of Europe’s biggest ports and has a long and rich history. Visit the medieval fortress in the heart of the city, count the bricks of La Notre-Dame d’Anvers, stroll around the Grote Markt or follow in the footsteps of the painter Rubens, who designed and built his own picturesque house in Antwerp.

Brussels, the ‘Capital of Europe’, is home to many must-sees, such as La Grande-Place which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk around this mind-blowing square, take a closer look at architectural masterpiece Hotel de Ville and visit the Sacred Island. Take a break and have a waffle or two – sometimes the best option is to try all. Order some typical pommes-frites or enjoy the local cuisine at one of the finest brasseries in town.
