Visit the medieval charm of Bruges

Bruges is a popular day trip for visitors from Brussels, yet with some of Europe's best-preserved medieval buildings and enchanting museums, the city has far too much to see to fill just one day!

The entire historic centre of Bruges is included on Unesco's World Heritage List and a stroll through the tiny medieval streets is a must for any visitor.

For a glorious view of the rustic roofs of the city, a climb up the Belfort which rises 83 m from the Markt is highly recommended, despite the 366 steps!

Another highlight is the Groeninge Museaum, which houses six centuries of paintings in a variety of styles, while there is also a fascinating section on Flemish Primitives. The stunningly detailed Shire of St Ursula is often remembered by visitors, which resides in the Memling museum.

To experience the relaxing side of Bruges, a canal or carriage ride provides the perfect activity, while it would almost be a crime to leave without sampling the delicious chocolates and waffles on offer, or one of the more than 350 types of Belgian beers.

Bruges is situated on a major railway network with easy links from the main Belgian cities and other European destinations.
