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 in northern Belgium. Before leaving the capital, we'll make a short stop to admire the famous Atomium, built for the 1958 Brussels World Expo.

Next, we'll head to the historic centre of Antwerp. As we stroll through its monumental area on the banks of the River Scheldt, we’ll discover the city's Spanish legacy, including the Antwerp City Hall. Other sites include the popular Meir shopping street and Steen castle.

After the guided tour, you'll have around an hour and a half of free time for lunch and visits. We recommend the Cathedral of Our Lady, featuring works by Rubens.

We'll then travel to Ghent, where our walking tour will cover the historic centre including Saint-Nicholas Church, Belfry, and Saint Bavo Cathedral. We'll also visit Graslei, known for its traditional Flemish architecture.

Our last stop will be at Gravensteen, the Castle of the Counts of Flanders, where you'll have an hour’s free time. We will return to Brussels, arriving around 6:30 pm.
