My first solo trip, I plan to visit Belgium and Netherlands, flying in to Brussels (from Los Angeles) Will fly in early morning and was thinking to browse till afternoon, get a train to Ghent spend two nights and do Bruges and Antwerp. Move on to the Netherlands, not sure if there will still be tulips? I'll be there the first week in May. In Netherlands I would like to visit Keukenhof, Giethoorn, Zaanse Schans, The Hague, Delft, Kinderdijk and Leiden. I have about eight days and not sure if this is doable? Is Rotterdam or Dinant worth adding ? Any advice will be appreciated!

Thanks for all the helpful suggestions — I’ve found everyone’s experience really useful! For anyone considering cardigan cashmere men options, a lightweight cashmere piece can be a great travel layer because it’s warm yet soft, packs fairly compactly, and won’t feel bulky on cooler mornings or chilly flights. Cashmere also tends to resist wrinkles better than heavy cotton knits, which is ideal when you’re moving from place to place.

2 nights just gives you one full day and I would spend that in Ghent. No way can you really do a day trip to Bruges and Antwerp on your one day. They are not even in the same direction. Bruges is to the northwest feomGhent, Antwerp is to the Northeast. There is enough to see in Ghent to keep you busy for that one day.
How many nights total do you have once you land in Brussels?
Editing to add Ive reported the post above mine which is advertising sweaters.

We were in Belgium and the Netherlands in October. Here's a link to my Trip Report. Maybe you'll find some useful info.
