Bruges is great. Wish we had spent the day there. Ghent was too modern for my taste. A fewxold buildings then a modern shopping centre. Wish we had had longer in Bruges to wander the barrow streets

Highlights

  • Explore 2 beautiful cities in a day with this guided trip
  • Explore the majestic beauty of Saint Bavo Cathedral in Ghent
  • Visit the Belfry of Bruges and the Church of Saint Nicholas in Ghent
  • Discover the Lake of Love and the Begijnhof founded in 1245

Full description

Meet your guide in the center of Brussels and relax on the 100-kilometer journey to Bruges by bus. Upon arrival, discover the charms of “the Venice of the North” and see why the entire historic center was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

Marvel at highlights such as the Lake of Love (Minnewater Lake) and the 13th-century Begijnhof complex, founded in 1245 to house lay religious women. Go to Walplein Square, where the shady trees and cafes provide a perfect place to relax.
Visit Stoofstraat on the site of the city's former Red Light District, and see medieval monuments such as the 11th-century Old St. John’s Hospital.
Look at the world's second tallest brickwork tower at the Church of Our Lady, and see other historic monuments such as Gruuthuse Palace or the Dijver Canal.
Go to one of the city's most photographed spots at Rozenhoedkaai, and admire the Belfry on Castle Square. Visit Market Square (Grote Markt) to see the Bell Tower (Belfort). Then enjoy 1-hour's free time for lunch (at your own expense) and the chance to sample some of the city's delicious chocolates. 

Next, drive to Ghent, where the inhabitants have been popularly known as "noose-bearers“ since the days of Charles V.
Take a guided tour of the city's historic buildings, such as the Castle of Gerald the Devil and Saint Bavo Cathedral, where you can learn about the painting of “The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb” by the Van Eyck brothers. Admire the Belfort (Bell Tower) and peculiar Gothic and Renaissance-style Town Hall.
See one of the city's oldest monuments at St. Nicholas’ Church opposite the unusual facade of the Masons’ Guild House.
Journey along the embankments of the medieval port of Graslei, and discover other highlights such as the majestic Castle of the Counts of Flanders, the Great Butchers’ Hall, the Old Fish Market, and Friday Market Square.

Enjoy some free time in this magical city before returning back to Brussels. Our adventure is over! Don't wait and enjoy this day with us!

Juliana was our tour guide and she was fantastic! Her storytelling style describing Bruges and Ghent, and each tourist spot, was very engaging and informative. We learned a lot and appreciated the beauty of both cities, thanks to Juliana. It was time and money very well spent.
