Day 1: Amsterdam → Brussels → Rouen (550 km)
In the morning, depart for the capital of Belgium, Brussels. Start by visiting the Atomium, then explore the Gothic-style City Hall, Grand Place, and the famous Manneken Pis statue in the city center. In the afternoon, drive to France and continue towards the capital of the Normandy region, Rouen. Rouen is known for its rich culinary culture and is also a place of great reverence for the French saint, Joan of Arc, often referred to as the "Maid of Orleans." After arriving, enjoy dinner and return to the hotel for overnight accommodation.
Day 2: Rouen → Mont Saint Michel → Rouen (500 km)
Mont Saint-Michel; It stands on the sea level, like a mystical island in the sea, often surrounded by vast stretches of sand that only become an island at low tide. When the tide rises, the water rushes in, turning the surroundings into a vast expanse. From a distance, the pyramid-shaped silhouette of Mont Saint-Michel emerges on the endless sea of sand, like a mirage, both enchanting and dreamlike. Mont Saint-Michel is the third most sacred site in Catholicism, after Jerusalem and the Vatican. In 1979, it was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Day 3: Rouen → Paris → Chateau Theirry (240 km)
Visit famous attractions in Paris, such as the majestic and symbolic Arc de Triomphe, the bustling and lively Champs- Élysées, the Place de la Concorde, which was once the site of the guillotine during the French Revolution, Napoleon's Tomb and the Invalides, and pass by the centuries-old Notre-Dame Cathedral and the iconic Eiffel Tower towering on the banks of the Seine River. After lunch, head to the quay and take an optional sightseeing cruise along the Seine River, enjoying the beautiful scenery on both sides. It is a must-do activity when exploring Paris. Depart from Paris in the evening and proceed to the hotel for overnight accommodation.

Day 5: Luxembourg → Trier → Koblenz → Rudesheim am Rhein → Frankfurt (400 km)
Today we leave Luxembourg behind and head across another European border into Germany. The first stop is historic Trier, Germany’s oldest city and the birthplace of Karl Marx. You’ll have the chance to see from the outside the house where the influential philosopher was born, which now functions as the Karl Marx Haus museum. Your walking tour then takes you into the centre of Trier; here you can look around the city’s impressive cathedral, where the celebrated Holy Robe – said to be the tunic of Christ – is preserved and occasionally displayed. Trier is also known as ‘The Second Rome’ (Constantine served as an administrator here for 10 years), and significant legacies of the once-great empire remain today. The highlight is undoubtedly Porta Nigra, the best-preserved Roman city gate north of the Alps, which you’ll get to see and photograph. After an exciting morning in Trier, you’ll drive on to Koblenz, famous as the location of the confluence of the Rhine and Mosel rivers. Here you have the option of indulging in a relaxing lunch alongside the water, then afterwards you can also choose to add on a scenic Rhine boat cruise for some memorable city vistas. Back on dry land you’ll drive through the wine-making town of Rüdesheim (depending on road and traffic conditions). Then it is on to Frankfurt am Main, where you’ll discover the delights of Römerberg, a charming plaza with a distinctive medieval town hall as its centrepiece.
Day 6: Frankfurt → Bonn → Cologne → Amsterdam(500 km)
The morning begins with a leisurely drive north-west from Frankfurt to Bonn, the capital of the former West Germany until reunification. The national government is now in Berlin, but Bonn retains a rich history that is well worth exploring. Discover the city’s secrets on an orientation stroll through its streets, walking past highlights such as the Rococofronted town hall and Ludwig Van Beethoven Haus, a museum celebrating the life of the much-loved composer. Then it’s on to Cologne, where you’ll head inside the city’s glorious Gothic Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The rest of the afternoon is yours to explore Cologne further, to do a spot of local shopping or to simply relax with a suitably refreshing German brew. After lunch the day is rounded off with a drive into the Netherlands.
