Did 4 days in Amsterdam and really enjoyed it. I'd been 15 years

prior when I studied abroad at Tech. Did the Rijksmuseum, Anne Frank, Canal tours. Didn't jam pack most of our days so we could do what we wanted to. Really enjoyed it. I would say 4 days was enough. We got our flights back from Schipol canceled by KLM so they rebooked us on Lufthansa through Munich. Not great but we got 1200 euro compensation for the inconvenience.

Bastogne is not all that much, you'll see all you need to see in a few

Belgian beer is the best beer.**
ElbertoHokie • 01/29/24 03:10 PM ET
It's a crossroads town. And it still is.**
ElbertoHokie • 01/29/24 03:03 PM ET

No time for Amsterdam or Paris? **
HokieHigh • 01/29/24 01:21 PM ET
Flying back through Amsterdam, but not staying overnight as of now.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 01/29/24 01:23 PM ET
Make sure you hit Verdun on your Paris trip next year**
HokieJamie • 01/29/24 02:44 PM ET
Amsterdam is really cool but I feel like you can do most of it in a day

In Paris, they are mostly in Musee d'Orsay. But the rest are spread out
