Sit back and watch the world go by in the calm, serene Bruges

It is often overlooked that Bruges is about one hour’s train journey from Brussels city centre.

Just think – one hour away from hustle and bustle of Brussels (now there’s a Eurovision song title for you!) is a compact city of less than 120,000.

Certainly, the differences between Brussels and Bruges couldn’t be more apparent: the former thrives on the cut and thrust of big city life, the latter is content to serenely sit back and let the world go by.
