Day Three: Gouda
A free day to explore your host town. Gouda is famous for cheese and we will include a tasting. The rest of the day is yours. Stroll through picturesque streets full of shops, cafes and restaurants. The main town square is a must-see. The town hall stands proud and if the doors are open you’re free to have a look around. Don’t miss the famous stained glass windows of Sint-Janskerk. (B,D)
Day Four: Bruges
For quaint cobbled streets and attractive medieval architecture, Bruges is the place to go. This city is filled with iconic sights, such as the Belfry, and there are also a lot of museums to make the most of while there. Wander the cobbled streets and canal-side paths to see the best of this medieval town. Enjoy a canal cruise to see all the hidden gems which cannot be seen from the streets. We continue to our overnight hotel in France. (B,D)
