Itinerary - 4 Night Holiday by Rail
Days 1 and 2
Bruges
Travel on Eurostar from London to Brussels, where you transfer onto the train to Bruges. On arrival, check in at the Navarra Hotel Bruges for a 2 night stay.
The "Venice of the North", Bruges is a medieval masterpiece of a city packed with winding canals and cobbled streets. Beautifully preserved houses, the famous Belfry and museums such as the Groeninge Museum give it a film set feel. If you have seen the film "In Bruges", then you will know what to expect (minus Colin Farrell!). For a glorious view of the rustic roofs of the city, a climb up the Belfort which rises 83 m from the Markt is highly recommended, despite the 366 steps!
Days 3 and 4
Ghent
Enjoy breakfast in the hotel before you take a train to Ghent. On arrival, check in at the Novotel Gent Centrum for a 2 night stay.
Spend the next two days exploring the beautiful medieval city of Ghent. Ghent is the well kept secret compared to the more flamboyant Bruges and is a charming university city - similar to Bruges but with a lived in feel. Medieval cobbled streets and the picturesque river Lei are the centre piece.
Dive in to the small streets and back alleys around Zeuterzusterstraat for some of the best dining in Belgium. The bars and cafes around the Vrijdagmarkt are great for people watching. If it's shopping therapy you need then Ghent has an abundance of boutique clothes shops - head to the Kouter area.
Day 5
Ghent to London
After breakfast in the hotel take the train from Ghent to Brussels where you transfer on to the Eurostar from Brussels back to London.

Bruges
Bruges is a Flemish city with a lovely, cobbled medieval centre, criss-crossed by historic canals. You can take a boat tour around these for a great introduction to the city, or as a romantic alternative, take a tour by horse and cart from the central Markt Square. Climb the medieval Belfry for spectacular views or visit the Choco-Story museum before buying your own supply of Bruges’ signature confection!
Ghent
Ghent is a beautiful university city with medieval cobbled streets, ancient canals and a picturesque river. Glide through the city’s network of canals on a boat trip for a fascinating commentary on this historic destination or visit the imposing Castle of the Counts and enjoy spectacular views from the battlements. In the evening, enjoy some traditional Flemish fare or try one of the bewildering selection of local and regional beers.
