Antwerp

Two-day city trip to Antwerp from Switzerland by rail

Illustration of Antwerp

Railtour Suisse operates a compact two-day, one-night city trip to Antwerp, departing from Zurich, Basel, or Geneva. Travellers spend 6 to 7 hours on trains with connections through Germany or France and Brussels, arriving in Belgium's vibrant metropolis. The package includes accommodation in a three-star Antwerp hotel and access to the city's museums, galleries, and historic sites. Antwerp blends medieval and contemporary culture: the Cathedral of Our Lady holds four paintings by the Baroque master Peter Paul Rubens, while the Museum of Fine Arts displays masterworks from the 14th to 20th century. The famous Diamond district handles roughly half of the world's cut diamonds. On the waterfront, the Eilandje district offers modern architecture and restaurants. Antwerp Central Station itself ranks among Europe's finest railway buildings. This trip suits history lovers, art enthusiasts, and couples seeking a short European break without extensive travel complexity.

Each point is a day we checked this operator's own page, not a weekly average, and the line holds flat between checks rather than guessing at movement we did not see. 1 of 4 point is a live read of the operator's page. Hollow points are values shown when the trip was first listed here and never confirmed with the operator.

One reading is held out of the price above and this history: an unconfirmed large change. We only price on the operator's package from-price, read from its own page.
