At the scheduled time, we’ll meet in downtown Brussels and, from there, travel by bus to northern Belgium. Before heading to Bruges and Ghent, we’ll take a leisurely bus tour of Brussels and see some of the Belgian capital’s most unique sights. The panoramic tour will take you through the Financial District and along the ABC Canal, before passing by the Godiva chocolate factory, Princess Elisabeth Park, and the imposing Basilica of the Sacred Heart.

Next, we’ll leave the Belgian capital behind, and then we'll drive to the charming city of Bruges, also known as “The Venice of the North”.

Bruges Tour

Upon arrival in Bruges, we'll start a tour of the city in which we'll visit some of the most popular landmarks such as Old Saint John’s Hospital and the beautiful medieval Church of Our Lady, which houses a celebrated Madonna and Child sculpture.

We'll also visit points of interest such as Market Square, the Basilica of the Holy Blood, the Belfry of Bruges, the Lake of Love, the Begijnhof which was established in 1245, Walplein Square, the Dijver Canal, Tanners Square, Castle Square and its Gothic-style Town Hall. It'll be the most complete tour!

After our guided tour around Bruges, you'll have 1.5 hours of free time to get a bite to eat, take a boat ride, or relax while having a coffee or tasting some delicious Belgian chocolate.

Feeling refreshed, we'll leave Bruges behind and head to Ghent, one of the most vibrant cities in Europe thanks to its famous university.

Ghent Tour

Once we arrive, we'll discover St Bravo’s Cathedral, well-known due to the world-famous painting by the Van Eyck brothers: “The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb”.

Afterwards, we'll visit the Belfry of Ghent, Saint Nicholas’ Church, Gravensteen, the Castle of Gerald the Devil, the interesting Town Hall, the Masons’ Guild House, and wander through the Patershol district.

Having immersed ourselves in all that Ghent has to offer, you'll have some more free time to take in the city at your own pace.

Finally, after a day rich in culture and history, we'll return to the centre of Brussels, where this trip will come to an end after 10.5 to 11.5 hours together.

Bruges Boat Tour

If you wish, you can book the option that includes a 30-minute boat ride on the canals of Bruges. The trip will start from the Rosary pier and you'll enjoy the ride during your free time in the city.

Want to Spend More Time in Bruges and Ghent?

Should you desire to delve deeper into the allure of Bruges and Ghent, we recommend spending a full day in each of the cities. If this is what you'd prefer to do, we recommend booking a day trip to Bruges and another day trip to Ghent. It's the best way to discover these two medieval gems!

Children Under 2

Children under 2 years old must travel on the bus in a baby seat. Please remember to bring your own car seat so that babies can participate in the activity.
