Floralia Spring Flower Show & Keukenhof Gardens

London to Antwerp

After meeting at Rail Discoveries' dedicated Departure Office, leave St Pancras International by Eurostar to Brussels. Here you connect with a local train to Antwerp.

Floralia Spring Flower Exhibition

Travel by coach to the Floralia Spring Flower Exhibition, hosted at Château de Grand-Bigard. Over 4 weeks in the grounds of this marvellous stately home, over 400 floral varieties are put on display, bringing a magnificent cornucopia of colour to the manicured gardens. Indoor gardens here also hold a superb array of flowers from around the world.

Afterwards, you journey to Berchem where you have free time to explore. Perhaps take a walk in Brilschanspark, which forms part of the 'green lung of Berchem' together with Wolvenberg nature reserve. Or, you could enjoy a spot of lunch in one of the city's many cafes.

Antwerp

This morning you enjoy a walking tour of Antwerp with a local guide. The tour includes the Grote Markt, which is lined with wonderfully grand, gabled Guild Houses and is home to the large town hall and the famous Brabo Fountain.

You are then free to continue exploring Antwerp - you could visit the beautiful Gothic cathedral or Rubens House. You could also explore the Diamond District, where 70% of the world's diamonds are traded.

Keukenhof Gardens

You travel by coach over the border into the Netherlands for a spectacular visit to the famous Keukenhof Gardens, the world's largest flower garden. The gardens only open in the spring displaying a powerful burst of colour and providing an incredible seasonal display of tulips, crocuses, daffodils and other flowering plants. The fantastic floral exhibitions are something to remember, and there are plenty of places to stop off for some refreshment amid the beautiful walks and footpaths.
