Day Trip to Bruges from Amsterdam

Looking for an entertaining and alternative plan on your trip to Amsterdam? It is true that the Dutch capital has a lot to show you, but believe us if we tell you that there is no better way to make the most of your trip than getting to know other European gems. From the city center to Bruges. To the jewel of Flanders, to a city where time seems to have stood still for six centuries. Let's check it out together? Let's go!

If we tell you that Bruges will conquer you from the first moment, what better than getting off the bus next to the Lake of Love? That's how Minnewater is known. A beautiful place, cradle of that medieval Bruges. On its waters still float many legends to discover. Did you know it was the first pier in the city? We'll tell you all about it!

A first stop in the middle of nature to move on to the historic area of the city, which is a World Heritage Site. The Vineyard Monastery, better known as the Beguinage of Bruges, is one of the monuments that make Bruges a world treasure. Why was it so important during medieval times? We will only tell you that from here came many of the transformations that made Bruges a very powerful city.

Strolling among medieval wonders, we will know one of the star products of the city. The Brugse Zot is a beer that you will only taste here, and it is delicious! Can you resist tasting it? We don't think so, just as you won't want to resist getting to know the Notre Dame de Bruges and its tall brick tower. When you know what it holds inside... The city will seem even more brilliant! We will also visit the Dijver Canal, for many the most beautiful for its views. How many pictures have you taken of it?

Strolling along the banks of these canals, the old meat and fish markets are squares full of life and joy. They have been transformed significantly, but still maintain the essence of the guild, like many of the other buildings that are next to the Grote Markt. And it will be here, in the heart of Bruges, where we will end this tour. But not before, of course, to see the most famous bell tower of the city. Do you see it leaning? 

You will have to come to answer all these questions and also to enjoy a few hours of free time to explore the city at your leisure. More than enough time to get to know its gastronomy, to retrace your steps or to discover new corners. Don't forget, apart from the beer, to take a peek into the world of chocolate. Here we leave it to you... Book your tour now!
