Today you have a free day to explore Bruges. This town on the coast of Belgium looks like it's been plucked straight from the pages of a fairytale, and there’s so much to see and explore. Why not take a stroll through the UNESCO Protected Old Town, starting in the iconic Burg square. Right in the centre of town, this square is home to a mix of Gothic, Renaissance and neoclassicism architecture, and features the town hall, which was built in the 14th century. Don’t forget to check out the Basilica of the Holy Blood, which is said to be home to a vial of cloth stained with a drop of the blood of Jesus.

Amsterdam is a network of canals, bridges and parks, perfect for exploring on a bike if the weather’s good. If you’re an art-lover, Amsterdam is home to plenty of museums, like the Rijksmuseum, which houses one of Rembrandt’s most famous works – 'The Night Watch'.
