Itinerary
Please choose your preferred 5 day itinerary
Local departure by coach then to Belgium for a four-night stay.
This morning, our included excursion takes us to Floralia, the spring flower exhibition in the park and greenhouses at the castle of Groot Bijgaarden. The park, which is approximately 14 hectares in size, incorporates many spring bulb varieties. The castle’s gardeners plant by hand, under direction from The Netherlands, more than one million bulbs. See tulips, lilies, narcissi, and daffodils and numerous botanical varieties. A sea of muscari, wild tulips, violets, azaleas and rhododendrons spreads out under the ancient trees. This afternoon, we include an excursion to Ghent, affectionately known as the ‘Flower Capital of Belgium’. This wonderful medieval Flemish harbour city has a wealth of stunning architecture to be explored. A visit to Ghent is certain to astound and impress. With its quaint canals and three impressive towers of St Nicholas Church, the Belfry and the magnificent St Baaf’s cathedral, containing the world-famous fifteenth century painting the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, by Jan van Eyck, there is plenty for you to see and do.
Includes Breakfast
Keukenhof is cashless. On-site purchases can be made with a debit or credit card. This applies to all purchases made in restaurants, shops and businesses within the park.
Includes Breakfast
Join our excursion to Antwerp, which today is Europe’s second-largest port (after Rotterdam), and one of the 10 largest in the world and has much of the zest often associated with a harbour town. Famous for being the diamond capital of the world and one of the fashion cities of Europe, Antwerp is both a stylish and confident town. You will have time at leisure to explore the charming narrow streets, spacious squares and elegant boutiques which ensure Antwerp remain typically Flemish in character.

This is my second trip to the Gardens and Antwerp and this time is much better than the first. The flowers were in full bloom and the weather was fine.

Prices have risen in the last year and since Leger have taken over Shearings. This holiday is generally good value except for the visit to Keukenhoff Gardens where the garden company seem to have a monopoly on food and drink which is expensive for what you actually get. It's no wonder that the Leger drivers take you to a flower stall outside the gardens to purchase your bulbs.
