Holland, Belgium & Germany – A Taste of Europe

Join us for the perfect European midweek break to Holland…..

If you love wonderful destinations, beautiful architecture and history in picture perfect settings then this is the treat for you!

We head to the heart of pretty Valkenburg in The Netherlands, which has long been an extremely popular sightseeing destination, beautifully located in the rolling hills of South Limburg. With its famous caves, castle ruins and lovely restaurants and cafés all set within a picture postcard setting, this is a wonderful base from which to also explore the surrounding area.

We stay for 4 nights at the popular, centrally located Hotel Walram, perfect for exploring the delights of Valkenburg, Due to its location, Valkenburg is ideal for a three country tour as we hop over to neighbouring Germany to the historic cathedral city of Aachen, and also to Liege, nestled in the heart of Belgium’s Wallonia region on the picturesque Meuse River.

Whether your interests lie in food, drink or history, there is something for everyone!

An ideal choice for:

* Friends and family looking to get away together and have some fun
* Shopping, food, drink or history lovers
* Anyone wanting to experience a European midweek break
