Belgium/The Netherlands

I am looking for ideas on where to travel in April after leaving Bruges . I have 1 1/2 days before I have to be in Liege to meet someone. After Liege I also have 1 1/2 days open before I fly out of Amsterdam. I will not have visited Brussels. Some ideas are Dinant or Masstricht. Anyone have any other places that would be fun!!

Dinant is pretty, but it takes maybe an hour or two to see. Maastricht is also quite attractive, but unless you want to do a lot of shopping, it would be hard to fill an entire day there. If you'll have car,you can check out the Ardennes (Spa, Verviers, Durbuy, etc.). Without a car... Gent, Antwerp,Leuven? For something a little different, maybe even Hasselt?

What kind of attractions are you into? Art/particular artists? Medieval history? etc. I posted a very similar thread but my trip is in about 3 weeks so perhaps I can respond to you afterwards ^_^

Hi Megan, Have a good trip. I would be very interested to hear what you did after your trip. We are spending 3 days in Amsterdam. Anne Frank museum, VanGogh, Keuekenhof Gardens, Moving on to Antwerp for an afternoon, spending 4 nights in Bruges, possibly going to the Coast, maybe the Triple Treat Tour and two days to browse Bruges. I have always wanted to go there. We may possibly visit Ghent too. Then we head to Liege to visit a friend so we have some time for Brussels and I was looking for something kind of quaint for the rest of the trip. More relaxed then the hustle bustle of Brussels or Liege. No car though.
