Join us for another fantastic week in Belgium.  This trip is truly a Pub favorite!  November 8th - 15th, 2015  
ONLY $1659 includes airfare and hotels 

Belgium is a beer lovers paradise. We'll be staying in the heart of historic Bruges, a UNESCO world heritage site stuck in the middle ages. I often tell people it's like Disneyland for adults, with winding cobblestone alleyways, medieval architecture and no shortage of fabulous restaurants and quaint pubs. How about a side trip trip to historic Ghent? Or a visit to some of the many breweries like St Bernardus, DeStruise, Bosteels and more!! Too much fun.
$1659 includes round trip direct air fare from Newark to Brussels and ALL fuel surcharges and departure taxes*, 6  nights in the 4 star Hotel Portinari in Bruge's historic city center, private motorcoach transfers throughout Belgium, full breakfast each morning, a half day guided walking tour of Bruge, and a pre-departure orientation before we go!
Reserve your space now!!!
We’ll also be offering a couple optional day trips…One to tour the breweries of DeStruise and St. Bernardus with a lunch stop across the street from St Sixtus Abbey where  the famous Westvleteren Trappist Ales are brewed (and where we'll have a chance to purchase some to take home!).  Another to tour Bosteels, the brewers of Tripel Karmeliet, Kwak & Deus with a stop in historic Ghent.

Taste the Food… Belgium is known for its’ mussels and frites, but everything else is amazing too. Think fine French cuisine without the heavy sauces. Lots of wild game too!

Taste the Culture… We’ll meet the Flemish people of Flanders and the French speaking people of Brussels and Wallonia. Admire  works by Peter Paul Rubens in the Groeningemuseum inBruges, or check out the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels. So much to see and do.

Taste the History…Bruges is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, A quaint medieval city largely unchanged for centuries. It's like walking through a movie set... except it's real!

Taste the Beer… Belgium is a beer lovers paradise...abbey ales, lambics, sours, belgian triples and Trappists to name a few. We’ll have the opportunity to visit De Halve Maan in Bruges, Bosteels near Antwerp, De Struise and St Bernardus in West Flanders, and more. This is a trip not to be missed!

Venice needs no introduction. A beautiful city of canals and lavish facades with a rich history.
Picture
Ljubljana (pronounced lyoob-lyee-AH-nah) is the capital of a Slovenia, but it is small and pretty, easy to get around, and full of surprises. With a lazy old town clustered around a castle-topped mountain, it’s biggest attraction is its ambience. The city is remarkable for its rich tradition, youthful vibrancy, cultural creativity, feel for entertainment, and numerous green spaces.
Picture
Ljubljana has preserved evidence of all the five millennia of its history, from  the remains of the Roman city of Emona and the old city centre with its medieval castle to the beautiful buildings with Baroque façades, decorative portals and uneven roofs. Other significant bits in the mosaic of Ljubljana are its picturesque bridges across the river Ljubljana and its vast Tivoli park, stretching into the very city centre. Most sights are either on or just a short walk from the river. Our Hotel Lev is in a perfect location just a 5 minute walk to the center of town and a 5 minute walk to Tivoli Park.
Picture
The Hotel Lev is located in the historic old town of Ljubljana capital of Slovenia. The Hilton Garden Inn is located on the coast in Mestre, just a short 10 minute bus ride to the center of Venice. The bus stops right in front of the hotel… couldn’t be easier. Both hotels are beautiful properties and very highly rated.

Pre-departure meeting & orientation at the Pub included.

    About our trips.

    Porters' Pub has been hosting "Pub Crawls" for over 15 years. And despite the name, they're not all about drinking... well I guess that depends on who you ask! Our trips are very laid back and friendly, perfect for the first time traveler or the seasoned independent minded explorer. You get the security, peace of mind and camaraderie of traveling with a group and knowing that all the details have been taken care of, but you also get the flexibility of going off and doing your own thing. Our hotel becomes a home base for exploring the countryside and a meeting place to catch up and compare notes with your new found traveling friends.
