Description:

Spend a day visiting 2 of Belgium’s finest cities, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites, on this fascinating tour from Brussels. As you drive into the scenic Flanders countryside, you spend the morning exploring gothic Ghent, and head to Bruges to spend the afternoon in “The Venice of the North”.

Only a 1-hour drive from Brussels, you find yourself in the medieval center of Ghent. Marvel at historic buildings from the Middle Ages, including the St. Nicholas Church and Gravensteen, sometimes called the Castle of the Count. Wonder at the world famous Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, a polyptych muli-panel painting by van Eyck that resides in the gothic St. Bavo's Cathedral.

Pass through the Flemish countryside to the quaint city of Bruges, where you enjoy the peace and peacefulness of the unforgettable Minnewater, or the Lake of Love. After some free time to explore and to break for lunch, join an informative walking tour of sights like the Madonna statue by Michelangelo, and the striking Belfry of Bruges that stands over central Market Square. Sit back and take a break as you are transported comfortably back to Brussels through the lovely Belgian countryside.
