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.
