This 3-day Belgian vacation showcases the lovely town of Bruges, one of northwestern Europe’s most famous medieval centres. It’s a perfect introduction to the city’s many highlights.
Your trip to Belgium takes you to the nation’s most popular city, Bruges, a tangle of canals, cobblestone streets, and medieval churches on the coastline. It’s easy to see why so many people flock to Bruges in the summer months or around Christmas—it’s possibly the best-preserved medieval city in Western Europe. Staying in a premium hotel in the city centre, you’ll have a couple days to explore its streets and enjoy the fairy tale atmosphere. Head on a walking tour to discover the town on foot, strolling in the company of an English-speaking guide to see iconic sites like the ornately-carved Stadhuis (City Hall), the 13th-century Belfry Tower, with its 47-bell carillon, and the Basilica of the Holy Brood, home to one of the most venerated relics in the country. After your walking tour, stroll through the Market Square to shop for delicious Belgian chocolates and waffles, and enjoy the city’s relaxed atmosphere.
This trip to Bruges is a great addition to a longer Belgian vacation and journey through Western Europe.
