	Ghent, which in medieval times was second only to Paris in both power and population, is one of Belgium’s oldest cities and the historic capital of Flanders. With its picturesque medieval town centre, prominent Castle of the Counts, 14th century Belfry, spectacular gothic and renaissance Town Hall, and peaceful waterways crossed by ancient bridges, it is also one of the country’s most attractive cities. The famous and beautiful Adoration of the Mystic Lamb in St. Bavo’s Cathedral is one of just many cultural highlights in the lively city that is home to over one hundred churches and four hundred historical buildings.

	With more bicycles than permanent residents, the Dutch capital is both charming and quirky. Aesthetically little has changed in the centre since its 17th century Golden Age. Beautiful gabled houses and merchants’ mansions line serene, tree-lined canals, which are laid out in five concentric circles and crossed by numerous bridges. The Royal Palace, originally built as a Town Hall in the 17th century, stands on a large square in the centre of the city. Considered one of Europe’s major art capitals, Amsterdam is home to a number of superb galleries and museums including the famous Rijksmuseum, the Anne Frank House and the Van Gogh Museum.

	Over the years many renowned painters and writers have been attracted to pretty Honfleur, which with its narrow, half-timbered houses, cobblestone streets and charming old harbour set in a sheltered cove off the Seine’s tidal estuary, is simply enchanting. Unlike many of its Normandy neighbours, Honfleur was spared during the bombing of World War Two and nestled in its tidy, picturesque streets historic buildings house art galleries, artists’ studios, boutiques, restaurants, cafes and fine souvenir shops.
