Flavours of Flanders & Floral Brussels
What's Included?
Flavours of Flanders & Floral Brussels - 5 days (4 nights) Friday 17th-Tuesday 21st April 2026
Here’s another new tour for 2026 that you won’t find anywhere else. British tourists have been travelling to the Dutch bulbfields by coach since at least the 1950s, even before the famous Keukenhof gardens were a thing. Imagine a moated chateau on the outskirts of Brussels, where planters from Keukenhof itself designed spring floral displays. Combine this charming mini-Keukenhof with a lovely day in Ghent and a visit to the poignant In Flanders Fields Museum in Ypres and you’ve experienced the wonderful variety of our small neighbour.
