Meet your local guide in Brussels, Belgium's capital and home to the European Union. From here, you'll take a train with your guide to the stylish seaside resort of Ostend. Boasting sandy beaches, a casino, racetrack and outdoor pools filled with heated seawater, Belgium’s Ostend has something for everyone. You’ll explore this bustling port town and sample delicious local seafood before continuing to Bruges – Belgium’s most popular destination and a must-see on your vacation.
One of the best ways to see Bruges' sights is by canal boat, and this is included on your Belgium in One Day Sightseeing Tour. Lasting approximately 35 minutes, your Bruges canal ride will take you past the UNESCO World Heritage listed Belfry and Halls (bell tower and market halls) and the famed Bruges Almshouses. Venture inside the Chapel of the Holy Blood, where it's believed Christ's blood was taken after the crusades, before admiring the statue of Madonna with Child by Michelangelo. There will be time for a relaxing a la carte lunch in Bruges before leaving.
The final stop on your Belgium in One Day Sightseeing Tour is the medieval city of Ghent - often referred to as Flanders' unsung city. Sandwiched between Brussels and Bruges, this attractive medieval canal city has been long been overlooked by passing visitors. Although the Saint Bavo Cathedral is impressive from the outside, formidable queues form to see the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb - a masterpiece painted by Jan Van Eyck. See the 14th-century World Heritage-listed belfry rising from the old cloth hall, admire the towers of the medieval Gravensteen castle and closer to hand, the Graslei; the most photographed waterfront promenade with its magnificent guild houses.
