Globus Holland, Luxembourg & Belgium with Paris(HWE)
12 days from Amsterdam to Paris
Tiptoe through the tulips, tread through famous battlegrounds, and sprint to the irresistible bonbons on this aromatic tour. Three nights in Amsterdam, two nights each in Luxembourg and Brussels, plus one night in the medieval town of
Bruges is the perfect introduction to the sights and delights of the Benelux countries. Early springtime departures include the exploding color of Holland’s famous bulb fields and the extraordinary Keukenhof Gardens while late spring time, summer and fall departures give you the chance to visit Floriade, the international garden show that takes place only every 10 years. With intricate canals flowing as freely as the lager from lively
Amsterdam to perfectly preserved Bruges, get ready to float up to some of Europe’s most impressive museums, markets, palaces, cathedrals—and confectionaries!We love
Paris in the springtime! We love Paris in the fall! And you’ll love spending three nights in the City of Light with a high-speed train trip from
Brussels to Paris. Sail on the
Seine, sip champagne, shop on the Champs-Élysées, or sit for a street portrait at Montmartre. Whatever you do, don’t forget Paris!
