A journey through law and art: Brussels, The Hague & Amsterdam
A journey through law and art in Europe is here. Pack your curiosity (and maybe a second stomach) we’re heading on a transformative, slightly indulgent journey through the heart of Europe: Brussels, The Hague, and Amsterdam.
We kick off in Brussels, where serious business is conducted in buildings with very long acronyms EU, EC, EP, and decisions ripple across 27 countries. We’ll wander the European Parliament and European Commission, seeing where diplomacy meets deadlines. But don’t worry, Brussels knows how to balance the political with the palatable, so between policy insights, we’ll slip into artisan chocolatiers and waffle houses that prove some negotiations are best done over melted cocoa and powdered sugar.
Next, we head to The Hague, a city where the words peace and justice aren’t just painted on banners, they’re the job description. At the International Court of Justice and International Criminal Court, we’ll step into the rooms where global disputes are settled and history is literally drafted. But The Hague also has a softer side, art museums that soothe the mind, streets that whisper old stories, and a coastline at Scheveningen where the sea insists you slow down and reflect (ideally with fries in hand, because balance).
Our grand finale is Amsterdam, a city that wears history and creativity like a perfectly tailored coat. We’ll stand in the quiet rooms of the Anne Frank House and Dutch Resistance Museum, feeling the weight of stories that changed the world. Then, we’ll swap solemnity for splendor at the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum, where Dutch masters remind us that life is better with bold colors. By night, the canals shimmer under golden lights, cafés hum with conversation, and our curious souls inevitably find themselves somewhere between a jazz bar and a cozy corner with apple pie.
This is more than a trip, it’s a three-city masterclass in politics, justice, art, and really good snacks. You’ll come home with a sharper mind, a fuller heart, and possibly a suitcase that smells faintly of Belgian chocolate.
