Trip Insights & Recommendations

Smart Insights

Walk everywhere — the UNESCO-listed medieval center is only 2 km across and every canal view is worth the stroll.
Buy Belgian chocolate at local artisans like The Chocolate Line or Dumon — better quality and similar prices to tourist shops.
Take the train from Brussels Airport (€16-32 return) — Bruges has no airport but the 1-hour train ride is scenic.
