Duration: 10 h

Our first stop will be at Breda which is a wonderful fun-loving city in the southern part of Holland. Where you can visit the historic monuments dating from the Nassau era, such as a Great Church, Begijnhof and Breda Castle. Breda is historic city  and offers to you discover the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk (Church of our Lady) is the most important monument and a landmark of Breda that can be admired from almost every place in the city. Breda has been voted best city centre in the Netherlands, with plenty of pavement cafes, trendy restaurants and excellent shopping. The so-called ´Spanjaardsgat´ reminds visitors of the time Breda was in hands of the Spaniards. The Breda Castle shows the historical relation between Breda and the home of Oranje Nassau. The ancestors of the Dutch Royal Family, the Nassaus, were of great importance for the city. Also you will see leading monuments in Brabant – in addition to St. John’s Cathedral, Heeswijk Castle and the Markiezenhof. Not only are the forefathers of the Dutch Royal Family laid to rest in the Nassau Church of the Netherlands, but during a viewing of this beautiful church you will also be able to admire some wonderful artworks. Our next stop will be at the crazy, geopolitical jigsaw, Belgian Baarle-Hertog and Dutch Baarle-Nassau together form what appears to be one intermeshed town. Legally, however, the former consists of 22 miniature Belgian exclaves, within which are seven further enclaves of the Netherlands. The result is the world’s messiest border. This bizarre arrangement can be traced back to an 1198 agreement in which the Duke of Breda (later Nassau) was given the village of Baarle but did not receive the surrounding farmland, which was jealously guarded by the Hertog (Duke) of Brabant for its valuable agricultural tax revenues.Next we will reach the Antwerp is Belgium's second largest city and Europe's largest harbor. Above all, it is the city of Peter Paul Rubens, world famous master of the 17th century. Visit the Market Square, with its ancient houses and Our Lady's Cathedral. This cathedral contains, along with other treasures, two of Ruben's masterpiece works, "The Elevation of the Cross" and "The Decent from the Cross." Antwerp is also the world's diamond center. You will be able to visit a diamond workshop on this tour before returning to Amsterdam after a drive through the harbor of the city.
