🇧🇪 Walking Tour of Bruges, Belgium
You can easily do Bruges as a day trip from Brussels, Ghent, or Antwerp if that’s what you have time for. You can even combine Bruges and Ghent in one day if you’re pressed for time and can’t decide between them!
Walking Tour of Bruges
From the train station, walk 5 minutes to the historic part of the city. Instead of entering the walls, walk alongside the canal on a lovely tree-lined path. This follows the canal to Poertoren Tower & Lover’s Bridge, a picturesque spot over the biggest point in the canal.
Turn left and follow the canal until you hit the Sashuis house, which is just one of the many homes and buildings in the area with that iconic roofline associated with Belgium. If you’re lucky, you may see a flock of swans enjoying the water in the canals.
From there turn left again to enter The Beguinage, an active convent you can visit in daylight hours.
