Our pickCrowds
April to June is lovely: the tulip fields around Amsterdam bloom from late March to mid-May, and the days are long in all three cities. September is calmer and still mild. In December, London, Amsterdam and Bruges dress up for the holidays.
Two minutes, three steps. Free and without obligation.
By train all the way. The Eurostar links London to Amsterdam directly in about four hours, and Amsterdam to Bruges takes around three hours with one change in Belgium. We book your seats and send everything in one travel document, so the journey between cities is part of the pleasure.
Yes, both work with timed tickets that sell out, especially in spring. We book them for you as soon as you confirm your trip, and plan the days around your entry times.
Of course. This itinerary is an idea to start from: three nights per city is a comfortable pace, but your travel designer can add a night in London, swap Ghent for Antwerp or Brussels, or finish your trip in Paris.
Three capitals of Central Europe linked by train: a Danube dinner cruise and thermal baths in Budapest, a cooking class in Vienna, Prague Castle and a Baroque library. Three 5-star hotels and time to explore.
