The experience

The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the riverside town of Dinant, through the Belgian Ardennes.

A full-day guided coach trip from Brussels through the scenic Belgian Ardennes forests to Luxembourg City, taking in the Grand Ducal Palace, the Place d’Armes, Notre-Dame Cathedral and a view over the modern Kirchberg district, home to several EU institutions.

The day continues to Dinant, a town dramatically perched on the narrow banks of the River Meuse beneath its citadel — the birthplace of Adolphe Sax, inventor of the saxophone, and the cradle of Leffe beer.

Who this suits

A good choice when it matches the way you want to use the city.

  • Travellers who want to add a second country to a Brussels stay in a single day.
  • A contrast to the Bruges and Ghent trip — a river gorge and a Grand Duchy rather than Flemish canal towns.
  • History and scenery in one outing, via the Ardennes.
