Bruges 2 weeks

Bruges enchants with its fairy-tale canals and medieval architecture, making it a perfect two-week retreat. Spend your days exploring Markt Square and the historic Belfry, then discover lesser-known windmills along the city ramparts. Consider a boat tour for unique perspectives and visit the Groeningemuseum for Flemish masterpieces. Two weeks allows ample time to delve into its culinary scene, from rich chocolates to hearty stews, and explore day trip options like Ghent or the Belgian coast. Base yourself in the historic center for immediate access to main attractions, or opt for the Sint-Anna quarter for a slightly quieter, more local feel with charming cafes and artisanal shops. An insider truth is that many of Bruges' most atmospheric and affordable restaurants are tucked away on side streets, a short walk from the main tourist hubs, often offering superior quality and value for money.
