Brugge

The journey to Brugge was only one and a half hours. We headed to the motorhome stopover, situated just outside the town.  There are two car parks on each side of the road.  We turned into the one on the right, which is next to the small marina and coach park.

Once we set up and had a cup of tea, we went to take a look at the park on the other side of the road. Although the parking spots were larger and the area more spacious, it was situated near a busy road and flyover, resulting in quite a bit of road noise.  Saying that being next to the coach park had its disadvantages, it was noisy early in the morning with the coaches on the move.

Parking Bargeplein. Brugge,

The parking is not particularly cheap at 22.50 euros per night, with an additional 50 cents each for water and waste disposal. The cost is slightly better at 15 euros out of season, but it is worth it, as it’s so close to the town. You couldn’t get much nearer, so I would recommend it.

Brugge is a beautiful and charming medieval town in Belgium, filled with incredible history and stunning scenery.  The entire town is like a museum, featuring beautiful old medieval buildings, squares, parks, churches, a cathedral, and ornate houses that line intricate canals.

We had visited Brugge years ago on a coach day trip, but didn’t see much of it as it was so cold and spent most of the time in a bar.

The Canal Boat tours are good value at (7.50 euros), an excellent way to see Bruges’ historical buildings, the boat guide pointing out the various history.  The carriage rides are another good way to see the centre and narrow side streets, but a lot more expensive if fewer than four people are sharing (39 euros)

Good, comfortable walking shoes are a must, as the cobblestone roads/pavements can be tiring to walk on.
