Day Trip to Antwerp and Ghent

On this day trip from Brussels you'll get to see two of the most beautiful cities in the Belgian region of Flanders: Antwerp and Ghent.

Day Trip to Antwerp and Ghent

We'll meet outside Brussels Central Station at 8:30 and set off on our bus ride towards the Flanders region. Before leaving Brussels, we'll make a short stop to admire the famous Atomium, built for the 1958 Brussels World Expo.

Then we'll proceed to the historic centre of Antwerp. As we explore the area along the River Scheldt, we'll discover the significance of this city. You'll see the Antwerp City Hall, decorated with the coat of arms of Philip II, as well as visit the Meir shopping street and Steen castle.

After the guided tour of Antwerp, you will have approximately an hour and a half of free time for lunch and to visit additional monuments, such as the Cathedral of Our Lady, home to paintings by Rubens.

At the scheduled time, we will depart for Ghent. During the walking tour, we will visit the Saint-Nicholas Church, Belfry, and Saint Bavo Cathedral. We will also stroll along the Graslei quay to see traditional Flemish architecture.

Our final stop will be at Gravensteen, the Castle of the Counts of Flanders, where you will have an hour of free time in the old town area. We will return to Brussels by around 6:30 pm.
