We had a little 4 day trip away to Bruges (and Ghent) in Belgium.
Lots of walking around the very cute, immaculately tidy and clean mini-city.
And surprisingly only one waffle but quite a few Aperols at sun-down – how else do you get a sit down!!
We saw lots of art; the best being in Ghent (which we didn’t like as a city) but loved their public art gallery which was an interesting mixture from The Renaissance through to Post Impressionism.
And if you’re reading this for tips on your own trip here’s the things I wished I known before hand:
There is a free shuttle bus from the station which loops around the town every 20 mins,
The station car park is the cheapest place to park a car long term,
There seemed to be a pattern of lunchtime closures, shops shutting at 6pm and then restaurants not opening till 6pm and usually shutting by 9pm (we went in June pre-season) so maybe book ahead,
The train to Ghent was £3.00 each way and really easy to use,
There are mosquitos in Belgium – come prepared!
