Itinerary

Eurostar

Day 1

London to Cologne

Depart London St Pancras by Eurostar for Brussels, onwards by
the Intercity Express to the heart of Cologne. Your hotel is
located just minutes away from both the Rhine and Cologne’s famous
cathedral, the Klner Dom.

Cologne

Day 2

Exploring Cologne

The Klner Dom is an ideal starting point from which to explore
Cologne. The Dom is home to The Shrine of the Three Magi, a
precious reliquary that, according to legend, contains the bones of
the Three Wise Men. The 533 step trek up the Dom’s south tower is
well worth the eeffort; from its observation platform you will be
rewarded with a spectacular panorama of the city stretching as far
as the Siebengebirge Mountains on a clear day.

Brussels

Day 3

Cologne to Brussels

Before leaving Cologne today, head to the city’s splendid
botanical gardens for a leisurely morning spent in the company of
10,000 species of flora and fauna. Alternatively, for a spot of
indulgence, visit the Schokoladenmuseum (chocolate museum) for a
calorific treat. In the afternoon continue your journey to Brussels
and your hotel.

Day 4

Exploring Brussels

resplendent Grand Place, the city’s architectural crowning glory.

traditional, family-owned Belgian biscuiterie that reportedly
offers some of the best Liege waffles available in Belgium.
