My company is sending me for some training in Switzerland. I am going to stick around for a little over a week after the training ends and plan on seeing Belgium and Amsterdam. I know a lot of you guys travel a lot, and some of you might even be from these areas, so I would love some input.
I will be free from October 3-10 (2nd and 11 would be traveling days). As far as Belgium goes, I am looking at the cities of Brussels, Antwerp, and Bruges. I imagine I can't get to all 3 of these cities in a few days plus have time for Amsterdam, so which cities would you guys recommend and for how long? My initial thought was 3-4 in brussels, 5-6 in Antwerp, and 7-10 in Amsterdam. I was under the assumption that the stuff I would see in Bruges would be similiar enough to Amsterdam that I don't have to make a separate trip for it. Conversely, I've heard there isn't a ton of things to see in Belgium and a day trip to Bruges would be worth it.
Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!
