Welcome to Bruges & Brussels

Romantic, canal-woven Bruges and buzzing multinational Brussels are both unmissable. While Brussels dwarfs Bruges in size, both feature boats plying waterways, serene parks, a web of cycling trails, jumbled market stalls, forward-looking fashion, and galleries packed with home-grown art, from Brueghel masterpieces to Hergs Tintin. All this plus the finest beer and chocolate in the world.
