Arrival in the European capital Brussels. Check into your room at the elegant Sofitel on Place Jourdan.
Today you will get to know the different facets of Brussels. The old town with probably the most beautiful market square in Europe – the Grand Place, nice restaurants and typical beer pubs in the side streets, the cheeky little Brussels landmark, the ›Manneken Pis‹ on the one hand and the modern buildings in the European Quarter on the other. In the afternoon you will visit the ›Choco Story Brussels‹ including a demonstration with the Maitre Chocolatier.
After breakfast, you will explore the Heysel Plateau, on which the world-famous Atomium towers imposingly. Built for Expo 1958, it has become the city’s unmistakable landmark. Inside the spheres there is a changing exhibition and a restaurant. After the tour, we return to the city center to the Belgian Beer World. A temple of enjoyment has now been created in the beautiful Art Nouveau building of the former stock exchange. After all, what would Belgium be without its incredible variety of beers? A modern and interactive exhibition shows the history and origins of beer and a small tasting awaits you on the roof terrace. End the rest of the day in Brussels as you wish.
After breakfast, the return journey takes place on the route of your choice. We will be happy to help you plan further program points on the route.
