In Liège, see the ancient quarters of the “Fiery City” as well as its romantic streets, steps, and tiny alleyways.

Next, you’ll explore the city of Antwerp—birthplace of the master painter Peter Paul Rubens.

Stroll its cobbled lanes amid 16th-century guildhall houses and the cathedral’s stunning altarpiece paintings by the famous artist.
