DISCOVER OUR NORTHERN EUROPE TOURS AND TRAVEL GUIDE

Northern European countries share a complex cultural heritage that links the grand castles of Bavaria and the picturesque windmills of The Netherlands. Our Northern Europe guided tours are curated with a host of immersive city tours, engaging cultural activities, and plenty of leisure time to discover every fascinating secret of these countries.

Beer tastings in Luxembourg’s Maredsous Abbey check off a must-do, while chocolate-making classes in Brussels and cheese-making workshops in Monnikendam add more delicious items to the itinerary. Walking through Germany’s Black Forest and a cruise down the Rhine Valley is just as satisfying for the senses.

History fans will relish visits to Heidelberg Castle and Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, and to Waterloo and Bastogne war memorials in Belgium. Our expert Northern Europe Travel Directors are excited to show you this beautiful, historic region.

What to Eat in Northern Europe

Deliciously Authentic Dining on every tour

Although the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Belgium hug Germany's western border, these countries embrace their own unique cuisine. You’ll find the soupy bouneschlupp in Luxembourg, a heartier Flemish beef stew in Belgium, and a potato soup with plum cake in Germany.

Luxembourg does wonders with pork and beans. Judd mat Gaardebounen is a classic dish in the country; a savory mix of smoked pork collar and fava beans.

Go beyond breakfast and dine on Northern European staples like Belgian waffles and Dutch baby pancakes no matter the time of day. These traditional foods are often all-day dishes.

Street eats reign supreme in Germany. You won't go far in Berlin without finding a stall selling döner kebab, a tasty Turkish-German hybrid, or currywurst, Germany’s national dish.

Did You Know?

The highest point of the Netherlands intersects with Belgium and Germany.

The Netherlands is one of the lowest countries in Europe. Its name literally says so: “nether” translates to “low”. With over half of the country at or below sea level, the Netherlands competes with countries like Qatar and the Maldives for having the lowest elevations in the world. The highest point in the Netherlands? Vaalserberg, the southern tip of the country which meets at the border of Belgium and Germany.
