Upon arrival, you'll have ample time to explore this fascinating city with the help of an audio guide downloaded on your smartphone.

During your exploration, take a break to savour traditional Belgian cuisine. From moules-frites and carbonade flamande to Bruges pork fillet and salmon with asparagus, there's plenty to tantalise your taste buds. And don’t forget to indulge in some waffles or other local delicacies.
After lunch, continue your discovery at your own pace. Marvel at the Gothic architecture of Bruges’ medieval city centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
