Things to do in Bruges

Everything in the Atlas for Bruges: places to see and things to do, in one list.

The Belfry

366 steps to a carillon of 47 bells. The climb is single-file and timed, and the view is the only way to understand how small the medieval city actually is.

Monument · 1 hour

Groeningemuseum

Six centuries of Flemish painting in a building you can cross in twenty minutes, including Van Eyck's Madonna with Canon van der Paele.

Museum · 2 hours

Bruges before the coaches

Day-trippers arrive from ten. Between six and nine the canals belong to you and the swans.

Walk or hike · low

This page exists because Bruges has at least 3 of them in the Atlas. Destinations with fewer do not have a page for this, on purpose — a facet with one or two entries is a heading with a list under it that you could have read in full on the page you came from. Back to Bruges.
