After arriving at Brussels South Charleroi Airport, go through the airport hall to the FLIBCO bus station, which departs from the area in front of the arrival hall. You will travel approximately 1 hour to Brussels South Station (Brussels Midi), where you will transfer to a tram and then reach your accommodation. It is a very multicultural city that connects otherwise nationally divided Belgium. Here, it doesn't matter whether locals identify as Flemish or Walloon. They live side by side with people of many different ethnicities and with temporary European officials. You will come across mosques, bazaars, and you can taste cuisine from all over the world. Brussels is definitely not just a formal metropolis of European institutions, it is a city of museums, markets and peeing statues.

Experience the magic of Brussels on your very first day! Take a walk to the heart of the historic center, where you'll be captivated by the majestic architecture and the legendary Grand Place – a square rightly considered one of the most beautiful in the world. Let yourself be carried away by the city's atmosphere, discover the famous Manneken Pis and its lesser-known siblings, and then head to a neighborhood where time seems to stand still. Explore the flea market, enjoy coffee or beer in one of the stylish cafes, and wander through the romantic cobbled streets. And what would a trip be without tasting waffles and the famous fries with a huge variety of sauces? Brussels will simply get to you with all your senses!

Today's program starts with a visit to Sacré-Coeur...you read that right, and no, you haven't moved to Paris...you will see the Brussels version, which is no less majestic than its more famous namesake. But you will also visit Paris today, as well as many other European cities, thanks to the amazing MiniEurope park, where you can travel all over the old continent on the area of a small park thanks to miniatures of the main European monuments. Another of the city's icons will be watching over you - the Atomium, or a model of the crystal lattice of iron reduced by 165 billion times. On the other side of the city, you will then briefly take on the role of EU officials and take a look at the places that determine the direction of the whole of Europe.

The city of Antwerp will excite you as soon as you step out of the main train station, thanks to the magnificent historical station building. You'll immediately recognize the city's reputation as a major diamond trading center when you enter the diamond district, full of diamond shops and luxury jewelry stores. You already know that Belgium is the land of chocolate. It's time to explore this delicacy more closely and, above all, to taste it!! You can do this right next to the station in the world's largest chocolate museum. In the heart of the city, a lively shopping district awaits you with a luxurious shopping center with a monumentally decorated interior. You'll immerse yourself in the city's history and explore its underworld, or rather the intricate network of underground streets with a guide. 

What are Antwerp and Belgium in general famous for? You can learn about the journey of raw diamonds from their deposits in African mines to their cutting and jewelry making in the Diamond Museum. In the very heart of this beautiful city, a beautiful square with an imposing cathedral and a famous statue awaits you. The extensive Royal Museum of Fine Arts, with its magnificent pieces, especially by local artists, will be a feast for the eyes. And how do you wash down this busy day? In Belgium, what else but beer, specifically the local De Koninck brewery, which you can also see with the help of an interactive exhibition. Proost!! (Cheers!!)

We will explore this beautiful city with the highest number of historical gems in all of Belgium. We will walk along the romantic quays of the water canals, or discover the beauty of the buildings from a boat during a ride. We will wander together into romantic corners and picturesque squares. We will visit the city's icons - Gravensteen water castle towering directly at the confluence of local canals, the legendary Ghent belfry (the city's tallest building) listed as a UNESCO site, and the monumental cathedral. We will see the unconventional "schizophrenic" architecture of the local town hall, visit the market with local delicacies, and taste local beer with a captivating name and logo - Delirium tremens.

Stroll along the romantic waterfronts and admire the beautiful facades of buildings reflected in the calm waters of the local canals. And how about saving your steps and enjoying an even better view directly from the water during a cruise across the city? See the Relic of the Holy Blood in the basilica of the same name and walk through the picturesque square with a dominant belfry inscribed on the UNESCO list. Sit in one of the many cafes and bistros and treat yourself, as is tradition, to local delicacies overlooking the swans floating on the water surface. Delight your loved ones or yourself by purchasing souvenirs of all kinds in one of the many chocolate shops or other shops.

Info about Bruges:

"Venice of the North" - this is probably the most frequently used pseudonym for this fabulously beautiful town with beautiful canals, swans and floating boats, pedestrian promenades, picturesque squares and waffle and chocolate stands on every corner. Bruges will impress everyone. In the summer, it suffers a bit from the influx of tourists, so I recommend visiting in winter, when it is no less beautiful, but you will be able to move around more easily.

Public transport:

you probably won't need it, the city is ideal for walking - a small, compact center and the sights are in close proximity to each other. For more significant transfers, you can use the free electric shuttle transport, see the description of the journey from the station to the accommodation

On your way to the station, say goodbye to this beautiful city with a tour of the monastery quarter listed on the UNESCO list, enjoy a last romantic view of the Lake of Love from the bridge and delight your loved ones with a souvenir purchase. Then, later in the day, head to an inconspicuous place of great importance to the development of Europe and follow in the footsteps of one of the greatest battles in human history.

Our wandering around the Belgian kingdom is over and it's time to fly back to our country. So we take the train to Charleroi, which, by the way, is said to be the ugliest city in the world. There, we will take a bus to the airport.
