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!

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.

A good landmark for Bruges' Lover's Bridge. This area is gorgeous and good for a wander!

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.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Amateur Italian, travel advisor, and adventurous eater! I’m a travel creative living in small town northern Italy, and I've been planning travel for over 15 years. I've lived on three continents and visited over 40 countries, so I'm passionate about helping travelers experience the best of a location, no matter where! I love both/and travel: I want to see the big sights AND the local hangouts, the big cities AND the small towns. I’d love to help you do it too! If you’re going to Rome for the first time, you don’t need me to tell you to see the Colosseum. But you might want me to tell you if it’s better as a guided tour or on your own, what add-on’s are worth the money, and what are the extra secret things your ticket can get you! My favorite part of travel is eating well: finding the local haunts, tasting a new wine, and trying the local dishes. Amazing food doesn't have to be expensive: sometimes the best of a place is in the street food! But if it is a splurge, I'll make sure it's worth every penny. I'd love to work with you to create the trip of your dreams!
