Antwerp and Brussels by Lindbergh Excursions

Tour Itinerary

A visit to Belgium

Enjoy a guided tour by bus to two of the most famous cities of Belgium.

Our first destination is beautiful Antwerp for a visit to the famous market and the Cathedral

Antwerp

...daughter of the River Scheldt and second largest city of Belgium.. The 500.000 inhabitants call it the 'Metropolis' (Antwerpians are known in Belgium for not being too modest). This city has so many different facets that it takes a while before one gets to know it thoroughly.

Antwerp, the diamond center of the World. If diamonds really are a girl's best friend, than a lot of ladies will not leave out a visit to the diamond district around the Railway Station. This area is also the Jewish part of the city. The presence of many 'Chassidic' Jewish people gives the city a flair that cannot be found in other Belgian cities.

...then we go to

Brussels

for a tour along the Royal Palace, the buildings of the European Commission, the grave of the unknown soldier and of course the famous statue Manneke Pis.

Brussels is more than a 1000 years old. Today the name Brussels stands for an agglomeration of 19 communes forming one of the three Regions of the federal Belgian state; the capital of the Kingdom of Belgium; the headquarters of the French and Flemish Communities. Brussels also has an important international vocation : as the European capital the city is home to the European Commission and to the Council of ministers of the European Union (EU).

We also visit a lace factory and there is some time for shopping or a walk!
