Day 3
Today we'll head to beautiful, historic Maastricht. Leaving the hotel at around 1pm, we will arrive in André's hometown with plenty of time to spare before your concert this evening. Stroll the delightful, pedestrianised cobbled streets around the Vrijthof Square, relax in one of the attractive cafes and bars. Alternatively, join our optional private dinner river cruise, and enjoy a welcome drink, a two-course buffet dinner (mains and dessert), as your knowledgeable guide brings the city to life, pointing out historic sights and places of interest, including Andre Rieu's castle home on St Pieter's Hill.Later this evening, take your seat in Vrijthof Square for the highlight of your break - André Rieu and The Johann Strauss Orchestra in concert. Take in the stunning spectacle and enjoy wonderful music from the innovative showman's repertoire of waltzes, classics, operatic themes and music from well-loved films and musicals.After this not-to-be-missed experience, our coach will return you to the hotel.
Day 4
Spend your morning relaxing before we head to historic Antwerp - the Diamond Capital of the World and home of Rubens. See the great market square, stroll the pretty cobbled streets, and perhaps visit its fine Gothic churches, magnificent railway station and Rubenshuis museum. In the late afternoon, our coach will take you back to your hotel for a final night in the Netherlands.
Day 5
After breakfast, return to Brussels to board your Eurostar train home (which will depart in the afternoon or early evening), taking with you the memories of a wonderful concert break.
