Brussels에서 Bruges까지 Private car transfer

Take a private car with Daytrip and you'll travel door-to-door from Brussels to Bruges without taking a taxi, bus, or train. Stop for sightseeing or chat with your English-speaking driver for a truly unforgettable journey. After booking, get ready to explore Bruges’ cobblestone pathways lined with medieval buildings, see swans swimming in canals, and willow trees weeping over lakes. And don't forget about bar hopping and enjoying a few Belgian pints while listening to carillon chimes.

Unfortunately, not much is known about what happened to Bruges during the 5th to 8th centuries, with historical records sparse, but by the 9th century, the city flourished under the Frankish dynasty. Unsurprisingly, this is likely why Bruges resembles many of the towns along the Belgian and Dutch coasts, with its picturesque canals and medieval architecture.

Nowadays, you can expect a taste of medieval Europe in the 21st-century, while enjoying a small-town atmosphere and world-class attractions. The city is also famed for its beer, chocolate, and fries, so check out its restaurants, cafes, and street food culinary delights when you visit! Ultimately, Bruges, in all its glory, is a city not to be missed, especially considering its compelling history, lively culture, and friendly people.

So book a concert ticket, plan a day trip around a new exhibition, check out the festival timetable, or visit the theater for a dance performance. There's so much to see and do!

Travel around and sightsee

Belgium might be among the smallest European countries, but it is filled with activities, spectacular attractions, and landmarks. So, if you're planning a trip from Brussels to Bruges, you'll want to travel around and sightsee, and you can do that with Daytrip.

By booking with Daytrip, you'll have access to a personal English-speaking driver who can take you wherever you need to visit. Because of how easy it is to travel from one place to the next in Belgium, you'll be surprised by how much you can get up to.

For example, our drivers can help you split your time between several destinations, like a quick stop at Waterloo to see the past battlefield or a leisurely stroll in Leuven, where you'll find not one but two UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Don't rent a car

No matter how tempting, it's best to avoid renting a car when traveling from Brussels to Bruges. Although Belgium is incredibly drivable, with new cities and towns located within a hundred miles or less of each other, navigating Belgium roads can be a nightmare.

The signage between Brussels and Bruges is mostly monolingual, with the names of places changing depending on the languages spoken. So, it's common to see road signs in Flemish and Dutch while driving.

Of course, this can be confusing, so it is best to hire a professional private door-to-door car service like Daytrip. The local drivers know the roads and how to read the signs, so there is no chance of you getting lost.

And then once you get to Bruges, you'll find you don't need a car to get around. It's an incredibly walkable city, and if you do need some wheels, bikes are the preferred mode of transport.

From Brussels to Bruges by train

Train travel is immensely popular in Europe, with about 345 billion passenger kilometers traveled by European railways yearly, making it the region's third-largest market. With so many people taking trains, it's safe to presume that you'll be able to catch one and travel from Brussels to Bruges.

Only one train line offers trips from Brussels to Bruges: Belgian Railways. A train leaves for Bruges every twenty minutes, and the trip only costs between $11 and $16. Trips are fast, taking only about an hour and five minutes of travel time, but the biggest downside is you won't get to stop and explore or sightsee anything besides the passing scenery.

From Brussels to Bruges by private car with Daytrip

If you're excited to sightsee and stop at the many cities and towns along the way from Brussels to Bruges, take a private car with Daytrip. Unlike when renting a vehicle, you won't need to drive and deal with navigating unfamiliar roads and road signs in complicated languages.

A Daytrip driver provides safe, reliable, and comfortable door-to-door services and will accommodate your exciting side trip requests. And although your driver is not a tour guide, they can share local travel tips to enrich your experience. What a steal of a deal for as low as 30 euros per person!

Basilica of the Holy Blood

Basilica of the Holy Blood is a Roman Catholic church in Bruges that is immensely popular and for good reason. Not only is this church beautiful and ornate but it's also rumored to possess a special vial. This vial is said to carry the DNA of Jesus Christ since it contains a cloth soaked in his blood. With a legend like that, it's a must-visit!

Torture Museum

Yes, you read that right. Bruges is home to a torture museum that houses one of the largest collections of torture instruments from the past few centuries. So, if you're looking for a change of pace and want something different, you should visit.

Not only will you see torture instruments, but you'll learn about the origin and significance of torture in society. Although grim, it is interesting, and it's surreal to visit, considering the torture museum is housed within one of the oldest prisons in Europe underground.

Chocolatier Dumon

There's no denying that chocolate is one of Belgium's most popular exports. In fact, the country is the second-largest exporter of chocolate globally. So it's unsurprising that Bruges is home to some of the best chocolate shops in the world, such as Chocolatier Dumon.

This quaint shop sells chocolates of the same name, and they are delectable! So pop inside this delightfully authentic building and buy your weight in chocolate – or as much as you can fit in your suitcase home.

During these months, the cultural season is in full swing, and prices are significantly reduced for everything from restaurant fare and attraction tickets to accommodation.

However, Bruges has relatively cool weather, with temperatures peaking at 70° F (21° C) in August. So visiting in the spring or fall, you can expect temperatures in the 50s and 60s.
