DAY 1

Arrive Frankfurt - Brussels

We begin our 'European Glance' tour in the German city of Frankfurt. Upon arrival at the airport and after the clearance of our immigration and customs procedures, head out to meet our friendly representative who will escort you to a local coach. We proceed to our first destination – Luxembourg, a small European nation, enclosed by France, Germany and Belgium. It's typically rural, with thick Ardennes forest and nature parks in the north, Moselle river valley in the southeast and rocky gorges of the Mullerthal region in the east.  Luxembourg is its capital well-known for its fortified medieval old town perched on sheer cliffs. We commence an orientation tour. We walk pass by Place d'Armes, Place de la Constitution, Government District, Corniche, Monument of the Millenium, Old Town, grand ducal Palace (outside), Place Guillaume II. Our next stop is at Brussels, Belgium. The Atomium, originally built in 1958 for the Brussels' World Fair, the structure was retained, thanks to its architectural brilliance. Essentially, The Atomium is a giant iron crystal magnified 165 billion times its actual size. Accordingly, the structure consists of 9 spheres arranged to represent the atoms in an iron crystal. We make a photo stop here to absorb in the magnificence of this gigantic atom. Thereafter, check-in to the hotel to call it night. Overnight in Brussels. Dinner at an Indian restaurant.

DAY 2

Brussels - Eindhoven

Today, after breakfast, check-out and proceed to explore a little more of the Belgian capital with the orientation tour that starts at the Grand Place, known to be Europe's most beautiful and buzzing square. This exquisite market square is the main tourist attraction of the city that has often left sightseers awestruck, thanks to the historic architectural marvels from the eras of Baroque, Louis XIV and Gothic that give the place and diverse character. Next on the list are two quick photo stops, one at the Everard t'Serclaes Monument (that is said to bring luck when rubbed) and the cheeky Manneken Pis sculpture. Then, move on to Bruges for an orientation tour. Proceed on an unforgettable tour to historical Bruges, one of Europe's most charming cities, also named the Venice of the North. The city is famous for its ancient churches, wealthy mansions, picturesque alleys and canals and the beguine court. The entire city center of Bruges is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Last but not least, Bruges is well known for its lace and chocolate making. On our way to the hotel, stop by at an Indian restaurant to grab dinner. Overnight in Eindhoven.   Your Breakfast will be provided at your hotel and dinner at an Indian restaurant.

 

DAY 3

Eindhoven

After breakfast today, we begin with our Netherlands exploration.  Firstly go for a visit to another equally gorgeous yet amazingly unique park the Madurodam Miniature Park, The Hague. As can easily be guessed from the name itself, the park houses miniature versions of several Dutch architectural landmarks, traditional Dutch houses, canals, parks, windmills, verdant fields and a lot more. What takes this miniature park to life is the addition of human figures that not only give character to this miniature world but also shows the evolution of Dutch lifestyle over the years. Then, arrive at the busiest town centre of Amsterdam, the Dam Square or simply The Dam. From memorable monuments and statues to souvenir shops and restaurants to that of scores of pigeons and buskers, The Dam is a true reflection of the city's character. And because Amsterdam is nothing without its spectacular canal circuit, we then get on a glass-topped cruise to navigate through this picturesque town with its regal mansions and houseboats and bridges via its impressive canal ring, which is now a UNESCO World Heritage site in itself. A cruise on this canal ring somehow makes everything about Amsterdam even more surreal. We drive along the scenic scenes of Netherlands to arrive in Amsterdam but not without making a pit stop at the famous Cheese Farm and Clog Shoe Factory where we learn about the traditional art of cheese-making and also that of traditional Dutch clog-making. On our return to the hotel, stop by an Indian restaurant to grab dinner. Overnight in Eindhoven. Your Breakfast will be provided at your hotel and dinner at an Indian restaurant.

DAY 4

Eindhoven - Frankfurt

After breakfast, bid adieu to the Netherlands and embrace ourselves to be inspired by the scenic natural scapes and cityscapes of Germany. First stop: Cologne! Here, head straight for the building that dominates the skyline of this German Town, the Cologne Cathedral, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Though the intrinsic architectural beauty and its magnanimity are the striking characteristics of this Gothic structure, there's something far more impressive about it than just the architectural brilliance. So the Cathedral was built in parts over 7 centuries (started in 1248 and completed in 1880). Naturally, then it shifted builders throughout its construction. And yet the Cathedral stands in complete aesthetic harmony unifying the distinct flavours of every builder and every century. We take some time here to absorb in all the artistic masterpieces the Cathedral has to offer before heading out for lunch at an Indian restaurant. Then, proceed to Boppard from where we embark on a cruise to St. Goar, this time cruising on the Rhine River. The cruise allows us to witness the charm of medieval ages with a striking stamp of German history. Apart from the fortress and other architectural attractions, the cruise also gives us a glimpse of the scenic views of the Rhine Valley, incidentally, the most scenic views one can get on the entire Rhine River stretch. Before we head to our hotel, go on an orientation tour of Frankfurt, remarkably beautiful, yet surprisingly underrated destination. Incidentally, this financial capital of the country has many gems in store in the form of theatres, museums, historic architecture, etc. The city boasts of an interesting mix of modern skyscrapers rising high above the traditional red-bricked structures and other monuments from the Gothic and Renaissance eras. Our tour takes us past some of the city's must-see attractions including the "new" Old Town (new because its almost completely reconstructed), the Frankfurt Cathedral (the Gothic structure with a 95-metre long tower that stands out in contrast to the city's modern skyscrapers), the Romer (a Patrician Villa that has served as the City Hall since 1405) and the Staedel Museum (the oldest museum foundation in Germany) among others. Continue to your hotel and check in. Overnight in Frankfurt Breakfast at the hotel and dinner at an Indian restaurant
