My DH celebrates his birthday in September and he always comes up with nothing when asked what he wants for a gift. Since we both love to travel, I decided to get him a weekend in Antwerp (Belgium) for his birthday. We went there by car (because it is only a short distance) and booked a hotel for the night. Antwerp is a great place for shopping and has some old buildings in the centre.
We took a trip in the horse tram and visited the Antwerp Zoo as well.
