They are here for good reason: magical sights are found around every corner, and the sound of horse-drawn carriages riding cobblestones only adds to the city’s romantic allure.</p> <p>The landmark Belfry Tower on the central Markt square is probably the foremost attraction, as the views from the top of this 15th-century masterpiece are stunning. Don’t miss out a boat ride down Bruges’s iconic canals either, remembering to visit Burg Square, where you’ll find the Basilica of the Holy Blood, which claims to possess the blood of Jesus Christ himself.</p> <p>The city is replete with museums that showcase everything from furniture to folklore. The Chocolate Museum and Beer Museum are self-explanatory, while the Frietmuseum is where visitors can learn why French fries should really be called Belgian fries.</p> <p>Gourmands won’t be disappointed either. Bruges is bursting with restaurants where local Belgian cuisine reigns supreme. Those on tight budgets might wince at some of the prices, but it’s hard to hold that against this city this pretty.</p> <p>In many ways, Bruges has become a victim of its own popularity. Old Town property prices have been pushed beyond the reach of most locals and many of the quaint, canal-side dwellings are being used as second homes by part-time residents. Consequently, Bruges can feel like a bit of a ghost town in the quieter seasons and even the summer when visitors have gone to bed. If you’re looking for hedonism, look elsewhere.</p> <p>Still, visitors will be galvanised by Bruges’s historic beauty, which is largely unspoilt by progress. Preserved in a time long-forgotten, it makes the city the perfect cultural mini-break or a great stopover for travellers exploring Europe.</p><div xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions" class="keyfacts"> <div class="key-icon"></div> <h4>Key facts</h4> <div class="row info"> <div class="col-md-4 col-xs-4">Population:</div> <div class="col-md-8 col-xs-8">117,260</div> </div> <div class="row info"> <div class="col-md-4 col-xs-4">Latitude:</div> <div class="col-md-8 col-xs-8">51.213349</div> </div> <div class="row info"> <div class="col-md-4 col-xs-4">Longitude:</div> <div class="col-md-8 col-xs-8">3.224884</div> </div> </div> <style> .inline-ad iframe {max-width:95%} .inline-add {overflow:hidden; padding-left:0px} </style> <div id='div-gpt-ad-1492512001379-6' style="padding-top:35px; padding-bottom:30px;" class="col-md-6 inline-ad"> <script defer> googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1492512001379-6'); }); </script> </div> <div style="padding-top:35px; max-height:310px; overflow:hidden" class="col-md-6"> <a href="https://illuminoto.com/shop/"><img width="336" height="280" src="https://www.worldtravelguide.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/illuminoto-MPU-336x280-1.jpg" class="image wp-image-22932 attachment-full size-full" alt="A digital image at https://illuminoto.com" loading="lazy" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;" /></a> </div> <div></div> <div id = "mobile_ads" class="hidden-lg hidden-md hidden-sm">  </div> <div id="mobile_google_ads" class="hidden-lg hidden-md hidden-sm"> <div id='div-gpt-ad-1492512001379-3' style="margin-top:10px; margin-bottom:20px"> <script defer>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1492512001379-3'); }); </script> </div> <br/> <div id='div-gpt-ad-1492512001379-9' style="margin-top:10px;"> <script defer>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1492512001379-9'); }); </script> </div> <div class="hidden-xs" style="width:80%"> </div> </div> </article> </div> </div> <div class="container box_list"></div> <div class="stay22 box_list" style="width:90%; left:0; right:0; margin:auto; clear:both"> <h2 style="text-align:center; padding-top:20px; padding-bottom:50px;"><i class="icon icon_1"></i>Book Accommodation</h2> <iframe src="https://www.stay22.com/embed/gm?aid=5f919c21daaed000175cb402&lat=51.213349&lng=3.224884&maincolor=2a2466&navimage=https://www.worldtravelguide.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/WTG-Logo.jpg" id="stay22-widget" width="100%" height="500" frameborder="0"></iframe> </div> <div class="container box_list"> <div class="row"> <h1><i class="icon icon_1"></i>Featured Hotels</h1> <a href="https://www.worldtravelguide.net/guides/europe/belgium/bruges/hotel-listings" target="_blank" class="seemore">SEE MORE</a> </div> <div class="row box_item" style="margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px;"> <div class="row box_item"> <div class="col-sm-4 col-lg-4 col-md-4"> <div class="listingImage"> <a href="https://www.worldtravelguide.net/guides/europe/belgium/bruges/hotel-listings"><div style="width:100%; height:100%; background-position:center; background-size:cover; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-image:url('https://www.worldtravelguide.net/wp-content/themes/wtg/listingImages/i17148.png')"></div></a> </div> <div class="caption"> <h4><a href="https://www.worldtravelguide.net/guides/europe/belgium/bruges/hotel-listings">Hotel Navarra</a></h4> <p><p>A grand hotel in a compact city, the Navarra is housed in a gorgeous, listed building in the heart of Bruges.

Rooms are simply furnished, but homely and good value. The fact there are only 10 of them keeps the service personal, ensuring the vibe stays like that of a suburban bed and breakfast, rather than a slick city hotel.</p></p> </div> </div> <div class="col-sm-4 col-lg-4 col-md-4"> <div class="listingImage"> <a href="https://www.worldtravelguide.net/guides/europe/belgium/bruges/hotel-listings"><div style="width:100%; height:100%; background-position:center; background-size:cover; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-image:url('https://www.worldtravelguide.net/wp-content/themes/wtg/listingImages/i17150.png')"></div></a> </div> <div class="caption"> <h4><a href="https://www.worldtravelguide.net/guides/europe/belgium/bruges/hotel-listings">The Pand Hotel</a></h4> <p><p>Quite possibly the best place to stay in Bruges, The Pand is a small, luxurious hotel in the heart of the Old Town. Sumptuous but not showy, this former 18th-century carriage house has a friendly, laid-back ambiance and one of the best champagne breakfasts in the city. Festooned with the owner’s personal collection of antiques, there are 26 individually designed rooms to choose from.</p></p> </div> </div></div> <div class="row box_item"> <div class="col-sm-4 col-lg-4 col-md-4"> <div class="listingImage"> <a href="https://www.worldtravelguide.net/guides/europe/belgium/bruges/hotel-listings"><div style="width:100%; height:100%; background-position:center; background-size:cover; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-image:url('https://www.worldtravelguide.net/wp-content/themes/wtg/listingImages/i17146.png')"></div></a> </div> <div class="caption"> <h4><a href="https://www.worldtravelguide.net/guides/europe/belgium/bruges/hotel-listings">Passage</a></h4> <p><p>Another wallet-friendly option, the Passage is a youth hostel, budget hotel, and restaurant split between two Old Town buildings. Scruffy and old fashioned but charming nonetheless, the Passage offers dorm beds, cheap doubles, and reasonably priced food. The staff are helpful and Bruges’ main attractions are just a short stroll away.</p></p> </div> </div> <div class="col-sm-4 col-lg-4 col-md-4"> <div class="listingImage"> <a href="https://www.worldtravelguide.net/guides/europe/belgium/bruges/hotel-listings"><div style="width:100%; height:100%; background-position:center; background-size:cover; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-image:url('https://www.worldtravelguide.net/wp-content/themes/wtg/listingImages/i17151.png')"></div></a> </div> <div class="caption"> <h4><a href="https://www.worldtravelguide.net/guides/europe/belgium/bruges/hotel-listings">Hotel de Orangerie</a></h4> <p><p>Opulence abounds in the 20 large and lavish rooms of this lovely boutique hotel, housed in a former 15th-century monastery. Those facing the picturesque canal have some of the best views in town. If you can tear yourself away, the lounge bar has a warming open fire in winter, or you can enjoy afternoon tea in the elegant winter garden.</p></p> </div> </div> <div class="col-sm-4 col-lg-4 col-md-4"> <div class="listingImage"> <a href="https://www.worldtravelguide.net/guides/europe/belgium/bruges/hotel-listings"><div style="width:100%; height:100%; background-position:center; background-size:cover; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-image:url('https://www.worldtravelguide.net/wp-content/themes/wtg/listingImages/i17152.png')"></div></a> </div> <div class="caption"> <h4><a href="https://www.worldtravelguide.net/guides/europe/belgium/bruges/hotel-listings">NH Brugge</a></h4> <p><p>This hotel has an interesting history, as it was a monastery from the 17th century, but is now a classified building.
