Upon arrival, you'll be captivated by the charm of "the Venice of the North," with its entire historic center recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Explore iconic sights such as the peaceful Lake of Love (Minnewater Lake) and the 13th-century Begijnhof, founded in 1245 for lay religious women. Stroll through Walplein Square, where shady trees and quaint cafes offer a perfect spot to unwind. Walk along Stoofstraat, once the city's Red Light District, and admire medieval landmarks like the 11th-century Old St. John’s Hospital.

Gaze at the world’s second tallest brick tower at the Church of Our Lady and visit other historic sites such as Gruuthuse Palace and the Dijver Canal.

In Market Square (Grote Markt), admire the Belfort before enjoying an hour of free time for lunch (at your own expense) and an opportunity to taste some of Bruges' famous chocolates.

Then, drive to Ghent, where locals have been known as "noose-bearers" since the days of Charles V. Take a guided tour of Ghent's historic sites, including the Castle of Gerald the Devil and Saint Bavo Cathedral, where you can learn about the famous painting “The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb” by the Van Eyck brothers. Admire the Belfort and the unique blend of Gothic and Renaissance architecture at the Town Hall.

Visit St. Nicholas' Church, one of Ghent’s oldest monuments, and see the striking facade of the Masons’ Guild House.
