The historic city of Bruges is a small but beautiful Belgian city. Not far from the capital Brussels, this popular city break destination is a relaxing place to spend a few days. Take a look at a few ideas for things to do in Bruges:

Groeninge Museum

Opening hours are from 9.30am-5pm Tuesday to Sunday.

Minnewater Park

Minnewater Park with its beautiful Lake of Love is a fantastic open space less than a kilometre from the city centre. It's a great place for a picnic or to just relax and enjoy the panoramic views of the old city. A highly recommended short excursion from the centre of Bruges.

St Anna Quarter

A trip to the St Anna Quarter allows you to see the real Bruges without the modern shops and tourist attractions. With 17th-century churches and wonderfully historic courtyards, this is a glimpse into Bruges' past.

Gruuthuse Museum

The Gruuthuse museum highlights and celebrates Bruges’ main activities over the last hundred years. The 15th-century mansion explores the long traditions of lace-making, brewing and bourgeois living. An ideal way to find out about the history of Bruges.

Opening hours are from 9.30am-5.30pm Tuesday to Sunday.
