Discovering the charming city of Bruges is a delightful experience, but let's talk about something a bit less enchanting: parking. Yes, it can be a bit pricey. Although you'll find a good number of complimentary parking spots dotted around, there's also a fair share of locations where you'll need to pay a fee. Now, if you're planning to venture into the heart of the city, keep in mind that it's not a free-for-all when it comes to parking. However, there's a silver lining – the blue zone. This special area allows you to park for a brief spell, which is perfect for when you just need to pop in and out. And the best part? You can pay for your parking in convenient 15-minute increments, making it easy to manage your time and expenses.
Imagine gliding along serene canals, the gentle lapping of water against the boat, as you behold the enchanting sights of Bruges from a unique perspective. A 30-minute boat tour is a delightful way to immerse yourself in the city's historic heart, especially if time is of the essence. Not only does it reveal the grandeur of the historic core, but it also whisks you away to hidden gems that are tucked away from the well-trodden paths. This enchanting boat journey quickly became the highlight of my visit to this medieval city.
Bruges greets visitors with its temperate embrace, welcoming them in every season. The winter air may carry a crisp chill, while the summer sun bathes the city in warmth.

And when the hunger pangs strike, venture north of the performing arts center where cozy cafes abound. Among them, Cafe Leffe stands out as a prime spot to savor the flavors of Bruges.

Due to its popularity, the Belfry can become quite bustling. To ensure your chance to ascend this iconic tower and enjoy the panoramic views, it's wise to secure your tickets in advance through the Belfry's official website.
