Program details

Make the most of your time in Belgium during this full-day excursion to Antwerp and Mechelen + Atomium from Brussels. Do not worry about time-consuming public transit; instead, benefit from round-trip transfers, as well as the insight of a local guide who can share context you might not have discovered alone, before exploring independently at your own pace.



On the way to Antwerp, we will stop for a few minutes at the Atomium. We will get off the bus to take a picture and continue the trip. Many people spend a morning just using the public transportation on the Atomium visit to simply take a picture, the subway ride from the centre is 40 minutes and costs € 2.20 each trip. Avoid that waste of time with Buendía Tours & Niceday Tours. When traveling in our own buses, we can stop to take the famous photo and continue the journey, only with Buendía Tours & Niceday Tours you can make the most of your holiday in Brussels.
