Bruges questions
Is 5 days enough for Bruges?
Five days covers the city plus a side trip to Damme. Start early each day to fit in the main sights without rushing.
Do I need to book canal boat tours ahead?
Book the day before online or at the dock. Tours run every 20 minutes and cost 10 euros per adult.
How do I get to Damme from Bruges?
The Lamme Goedzak paddle boat runs from April to September and takes about 35 minutes; check its site for times and fares. Or rent a bike and ride the flat canal path, about 7 km each way.
Do I need to book the Belfry of Bruges ahead?
Yes, book a timed ticket online, as walk-in slots are limited and queues are long in summer. Allow about an hour for the 366-step climb and the views.
