Autumn naturally invites a slower rhythm. Days grow shorter, the air turns crisp, and the light softens. Even the city seems to move at a gentler pace, and so may we. A moment to pause, rather than rush.

Ghent is not a city you simply visit. It’s a place you experience with all your senses. Behind every elegant exterior lies a story, and nowhere do these stories come more vividly to life than in its museums. From city history and contemporary art to classical masterpieces, these three venues reveal a side of Ghent you’ve never seen before.

Amsterdam is the perfect destination for a family day out. Here are some of our favourite family-friendly activities, including spots to eat that everyone at the table will enjoy.

Why Amsterdam in Autumn - There’s something special about this season in the city. The soft light and cooler air make wandering historic streets, hopping on a canal cruise, or ducking into a hidden gallery even more enjoyable. Autumn also brings a fantastic line-up of events, from world-class exhibitions to lively festivals, that give visitors a real taste of Amsterdam’s vibrant spirit.

Amsterdam is beautiful with its canals, world-famous museums and lively neighbourhoods. But if you venture just a little further, you’ll find towns and villages where history, tradition and Dutch charm come to life in unforgettable ways.
