Your Holiday Itinerary

See the market square, overlooked by the dominating medieval Cloth Hall with its impressive 70-metre-high Belfry, or perhaps visit the most important war memorial in Ypres, the Menin Gate. We return to Ostend for an afternoon at leisure in the indisputable 'Queen' of Belgium's seaside resorts.

• Day 3 – Bruges (included) and Sluis(optional, included on Silver Service). Bruges is Europe's best-preserved medieval city, and is Belgium's most visited town.

Stunning buildings grace the town, including the Gothic clock, town hall and medieval belfry that dominate the main square. From Bruges you have the opportunity to join an afternoon excursion to the fortified town of Sluis (optional, included on Silver Service), in the rural province of Zeeland, Holland. This fortified town is popular for both shopping and dining. Discover the rich architecture, elegant shops and cultural heritage, climb Holland's only bell tower for a spectacular view of the picturesque surrounding countryside, visit the 'De Brak' Windmill - originally built as a fortress mill and the first made of stone in the area, or take a walk along the old city ramparts.
