Spring is coming and this destination stands out for an easy and exotic city break.
Spring is just around the corner and the call of the sea may be felt. Want to break away from everyday life, get out of winter and take time for yourself during a weekend alone, with your partner or with your family? Several destinations in Europe are ideal for a short trip. Among them, one particularly stands out for its undeniable charm, this medieval city, with its timeless atmosphere, is nicknamed the Venice of the North.
You found ? This ideal destination for a “city break” in spring is Bruges! Close to us, easily accessible by car or train, it also has a considerable advantage in the off-season. Its tourist attractions are thus concentrated in a small space, allowing visitors to discover the city without having to travel long distances during a short weekend.
This can be interesting since Bruges in spring is not Barcelona! There’s no denying it, the weather in northern Europe can be unpredictable in spring, but in Bruges you’ll never find yourself far from a welcoming refuge to escape a passing shower. And if a few drops really were to fall, it could be the ideal time to discover the famous Belgian chocolates, the famous waffles or to savor, in moderation of course, the city’s iconic beer, Zot with its unique logo. We’ll let you discover it…
Spring is the season of all colors in Bruges, offering the opportunity to enjoy its parks. The Béguinage garden is one of the spots not to be forgotten with its first flowers and tulips but also the iconic swans nearby on the canal. The Lake of Love will also appeal to lovers, while strolling through the old Hanse district also offers great walks.
One of the great advantages of visiting Bruges in spring is the tranquility that the city offers. With fewer tourists, waits to access the many museums and attractions are reduced, as are prices, making the stay even more enjoyable. The short walk on the canals is one of the must-sees, like the art museums, the belfry square or the nearby windmills, when you head towards the coast and the town of Zeebrugge. Squalls guaranteed! So consider adding a little sweater or raincoat to your wardrobe…
