Somewhere for the weekend -

For the weekend  it would be great

in both or either  

Antwerp or Rotterdam.

Pleasant in  Rotterdam 

you could sail between excellent museums

on those  taxi boats,

have lunch  at their excellent fascinating

modern food market,

enjoy the walk along the river and stay at a Hostel.

Lovely Antwerp has an outside  winter festival,

a  mas and red star line museum,

and  a  vibrant weekend market that is foodie heaven,

art nouveau architecture, fashion, food.

These cities  have a great vibe and loads to do,

 see it  for yourself!

Enjoy your weekend
