Antwerp and Brussels Tour

We start at Amsterdam and will first visit Antwerp, Belgium's second largest city and Europe's second largest harbour has kept many memories of its rich past.
Above all, it is the city of the painter Peter Paul Rubens, worldfamous master of the 17th century. We'll visit the Marquet Square with its ancient houses and Our Lady's Cathedral (entrance fee € 4 p.p.).
This cathedral contains, amongst other treasures, two of Rubens' masterworks: 'The Elevation of the cross' and ' The descent from the cross'. If you like we can visit the Rubens House, where you'll find many more masterpieces.
