 Brussels, Belgium Optional Extension
3 nights from only $599
Stretch the value of your airfare to Europe by adding an exciting optional extension! Brussels, Belgium is a city of contrasts, from stately Art Nouveau to gleaming glass modernity. You’ll stay in Brussels for three nights at a centrally located, Superior First-Class hotel. Each morning starts with an included breakfast at the hotel, then you’ll find shopping and dining right outside your door — browse the distinctive fashion boutiques, linger over a bistro lunch, people-watch at a local café, or pick up a unique antique on the Sablon.
This extension features an included half-day panoramic city tour of Brussels’ highlights such as the Mannekin Pis, a 24-inch statue steeped in Belgian folklore, and you'll also view the Palais de Justice, a colossal law court, larger than St. Peter's in Rome.
During your free time, discover the rich and varied museums including
Art Nouveau at the Musée Horta, the old masters and surrealists at the
Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts, and Belgium’s zany comic-strip art at the
Centre Belge de la Bande Dessinée. You may choose to join a full-day optional excursion to Ghent. Also available is an optional Art Nouveau walking tour or an excursion to Luxembourg.
