Day 3 Three Countries Tour (Germany, Holland & Belgium!)
Today we take in three countries: Germany, Belgium and Holland, passing by the three countries point. We make our way to Germany to visit Monschau, a charming town known for its medieval centre, half-timbered houses and narrow cobblestone streets. We then cross over the border to Belgium to see Liège, located on the picturesque Meuse River. We enjoy some free time for lunch and to explore the city’s attractions, which include the stunning St Paul’s Cathedral, the famous 374-step Montagne de Bueren staircase, La Boverie Museum and the pretty Parc Boverie. This afternoon we make a pitstop at the Abbaye Val-Dieu, located in the centre of the Liège-Maastricht-Aachen triangle. Founded in 1216 by Cistercian monks, the fabulous abbey now houses a brewery and is also known for its cheese. We can enjoy a taste before making our way back to our hotel.
