Bruges in 2 days — FAQ

Is 2 days enough for Bruges?
Two days lets you savour Bruges — the old town, a canal cruise and chocolate and beer on day one — and take a day trip to lively Ghent on day two, a great balance.
What should I not miss in 2 days in Bruges?
A canal cruise, the Market Square and Belfry, a chocolate workshop and beer tasting, the Beguinage, and a day trip to Ghent.
Is Ghent worth visiting from Bruges?
Yes — Ghent, just 25–30 minutes away by train, offers the Gravensteen castle, St Bavo’s Cathedral and the Ghent Altarpiece, with more energy and grandeur than Bruges.
