Central Europe Discovery by Train: Paris, Brussels & Amsterdam

Paris → Amsterdam 12 days Up to 35

About this trip

Twelve days across Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam, with day trips woven in to smaller towns along the way. It moves at an easy pace, mixing guided visits with time to explore on your own.

You start in Paris with Versailles and Monet's gardens, plus a guided day out to Mont Saint-Michel, before a free day in the city itself. From there it's on to Brussels, using the city as a base for day trips into Ghent, Bruges, Luxembourg and Dinant.

The final stretch is the Netherlands, taking in the Dutch villages of Zaanse Schans and Volendam alongside Rotterdam, Delft and The Hague, with guided tours built into several of these stops.
