Brussels is rich in history; the capital of the EC is a sophisticated city with a lively, friendly atmosphere. Stroll around the Grande Palace, one of the most beautiful squares in the world. The Palace has cafes, bars and the famous Mannekin-Pis statue. Your visit would not be complete without sampling a glass of beer and the world's best chocolates.

After breakfast you can explore the city of Brugge known as the 'Venice of the North. You can stroll around the pedestrianised cobbled streets, and marvel at the magnificently preserved medieval buildings.
