Surprisingly close and beautiful. This is how you can briefly and concisely characterize the diverse region of Flanders and Brussels. And Flanders and Europe's capital Brussels offer holiday fun for almost every taste.
It is not (yet) a metropolis like Paris, London or Rome, but it still captivates with its special multicultural charm, with squares, facades, galleries and streets that make up the charm of this city. Grand-Place, Atomium and Manneken-Pis - the icons of the Belgian capital are a must for every visitor to Brussels.

On the first day you cycle to Leuven. This city is not only known as a university city - with the oldest university in Belgium - but also as a beer city. Enjoy the old market, the large beguinage. A walk in Mechelen, city on the Dijle, will lead you to the most important historical monuments, most of which date from the Burgundian period - St. Rombouts Cathedral. Visit the toy or clock museum.

Today you cycle a short stage. You can take the train (approx. 15 minutes) to the nearby Rubenstadt Antwerp on your own. The port city is one of the most lavish art cities in Europe. Here the Baroque finds its climax in the painting of the painter prince Rubens. The wealth of the trading city is reflected in the magnificent city palaces and churches. A walk through the city center shows not only landmarks but also various green places in the city. You cycle along the Rupel and Scheldt rivers to Bornem.

Ghent, the capital of East Flanders, also known as the "historical heart of Flanders", offers a variety of sights and is dominated by an imposing row of towers, including St. Bavo's Cathedral with the world-famous painting "The Ghent Altarpiece" by Jan van Eyck .
