11 Days in Western Europe Itinerary (Netherlands, Belgium, France)

This trip was around 11 days, moving across 3 countries by train.

Netherlands → Belgium → France

No flights in between. No immigration. Tuloy-tuloy lang.

Days 1–5: Netherlands (Amsterdam + Nearby)

This was the slowest part of the trip.

Stayed in Amsterdam and explored nearby areas like Zaanse Schans and Volendam.

A lot of walking, a lot of just being around.

Days 6–7: Brussels

Stayed with my cousin in Zaventem.

Explored Grand Place, Manneken Pis, Atomium, and just wandered around the city.

Everything felt chill and unforced.

Days 8–11: Paris

Spent 5 days here.

Mix of main spots and slow days:

  • Eiffel Tower
  • Louvre
  • Seine walks
  • Montmartre
  • café stops

No strict checklist—just going around depending on the day.

What Made This Trip Different

The movement between countries didn’t feel like crossing borders.

Same train. Same seat. Then suddenly—you’re in another country.

That’s what stood out the most.
