Travelling to Bruges

Travel to Bruges

Step back in time: travel to Bruges and discover the most delightful little city of canals and bridges, medieval Flemish architecture and higgledy-piggledy cobbled streets. To get to Bruges you need to choose 'Any Belgian ticket' option in the destination box and change in Brussels Midi to take a Belgian domestic Intercity train. Often compared to Venice for its canals, Bruges also has a Florentine touch, evident in its Renaissance flamboyance thanks to a properous period in the 16th century. The Count of Flanders, one of the richest noblemen in the West, was based here in Bruges, and the town was a hub of commerce, with merchants from 34 different countries regularly trading here. Like Venice, Bruges was famous for its high quality lace.
