5 days in Europe starting from Brussels - opinions on my itinerary
Hello!
Trying to finalize a plan for ~5 days in Europe this November. My girlfriend and I (28 from the US) are taking advantage of some cheap airfare and a stopover in Iceland this November and are trying to finish our trip planning.
Main Question:
So far we have 3 days in Iceland basically planned out but we are struggling a bit to nail down the details on our mainland leg of the trip. We arrive in Brussels at about noon on November 14th and depart from Brussles a little after noon on the 19th. Giving us about 5 days to roam around. How would you spend 5 days in this area? We want to visit Paris/Bruges but are open to other suggestions as well as how we should allocate our time.
Background:
I have been to Belgium/Netherlands previously but it will be my girlfriends first time in Europe. We will be travelling out of our backpacks and will likely not be doing much of anything too lavish. We would like to avoid air travel (4 flights in 9 days already seems a bit tiring) so we will likely be restricted to train travel in the area.
Research:
We definitely want to visit Paris via most likely the Thalys route from Brussels. I have been to Bruges before but would like to spend another day or so there as well. We considered Aachen or Amsterdam as well but were slightly concerned with the amount of time available to us to see either of these cities in addition to Paris/Bruges. Initially, we thought 2-3 days in Paris with 1 day in Bruges and 1 day somewhere else would be good but now we are struggling to allocate our time/plan the itinerary.
