Just wanted some help really, looking to have a mini cruise on the ferries with DC (teens) and wanted to get views on the best place to visit and things to do.

Will be travelling to Hull to get the ferry but just not sure whether to do Amsterdam, Belgium or anywhere else people can recommend please.

I've done Amsterdam and Brugge, both at Christmas using the P&O minicruises. I love Amsterdam and I think there are more things to do there sightseeing-wise, but it depends what time of year you go as there are a lot of hens and stags! Brugge is lovely but found it to be quite small and not much to do, the square and buildings are beautiful to have a look at and their cathedral is gorgeous, but we were a bit stuck with what to do on the second day. Depends how long you're planning on going for Smile

I'd probably recommend Brugge if it's for the day to sightsee, I'd recommend the chocolate factory/museum tour!

I've not been to Amsterdam at other times of the year but have heard it's very different. I'd say a good couple of days at least in Amsterdam to be able to see everything (unless there is somewhere specific you're wanting to go)

There'll
