A 3-day city trip to Antwerp and Mechelen for your group: Grote Markt, cathedral, the MAS, Plantin-Moretus and St Rumbold's.
Antwerp, a great port city on the Scheldt, brings together the Grote Markt and its Brabo Fountain, the Cathedral of Our Lady with its Rubens paintings, and the Plantin-Moretus Museum, a former printing house listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From the roof of the MAS, the view stretches over the city and the port. Your group then travels to Mechelen, capital of the Low Countries in the days of Margaret of Austria, dominated by the tower of St Rumbold's Cathedral and its carillon.
