Tips

If you’d like to extend the trip, consider adding a full day in the Swiss Alps for hiking around Lauterbrunnen, or a day in Bruges to explore its medieval architecture more deeply. To shorten the itinerary, you could combine Day 5 and Day 6 by spending only a half‑day in Brussels and skipping the Bruges excursion, focusing the final day entirely on Amsterdam’s museums.
