Summer brings out the mosquitoes
hi guys
We are staying in Brussels for 3 nights from the 14th Oct this year and plan to visit bruges for the day on the Saturday - what is the best way to get there (Assume is the train)
If so what is cost and how regular are these and what is last train back from bruges to brussels.
Thanks
Hi Clare,
The best way to travel is indeed the train. I see there are 2 trains every hour on the 16th, departing in Brussel Centraal. Have a look at the website for times: http://www.b-rail.be/main/E/
A weekend ticket costs €13.80 round trip.
The last train from Bruges leaves at 22:58, arriving in Brussels at 00:04.
Can't remember the cost but I bought a through ticket on Eurostar from London to Brugges which allowed me to break the journey in Brussels. The train for Brugge leaves from a platform just a little walk along from the Eurostar arrival point.
As to what to do in Brugge - Try the canal cruise, or there is a good bus day tour which includes lunch and goes outside too and visits a chocolate factory. Can't remember the name though....memory is terrible.
thanks guys for the info - really helpful.
Journey Brussels to Brugge takes approx 1 hour by train
This is a walker's paradise. Especially wander off of the tourist streets and you may discover hidden Brugge. HIGHLY recommended to go off season (or during shoulder season) since the crowds can make for aggravation for tourists and locals alike. Rounding the corners of ancient streets at night, feeling completely safe but sensing all this cumulative history.
This Museum Pass was a God Send...and enabled easy access to all of the Museums/Galleries that I was able to manage if a three day visit...for the easy ONE TIME purchase you can save yourself having to reach into your pockets every time you enter a museum or gallery...
This card was really great value...and I would easily recommend its purchase if you're going to eplore more than a couple of the museums of galleries in Brugge...
The Historical Museums (Bruggemuseum) is the collective name for 11 historical top-sites...including
The three day pass that I purchased for 15 Euros got me in to Church of Our Lady,the Bruggemuseum-Stadhuis...or Town Hall, The Sint Janshospital...St John's Hospital, The Arentshuis, and The Groeningemuseum...Just to clarify though....entrance to the Church of Our Lady is in fact free of charge...there is a section that is accessed to the left of Michelangelo's Madonna statue that this pass enables free entry to....The Choir ...and here you will find the tombstones of Mary of Burgundy and her father Charles the Bold.
Its also good for entry into the Belfry, The Museum of Folklore, The Gruuthuse, The Brugse Vrije, and two of the Windmills...The Koelewei and the Sint Janshuis mills...which I didn't have the time to explore...
The ticket can be purchased at any of the museums or galleries that are participating in the program...any of the above mentioned locations will be able to provide you with this easy access card!!
I'm not a believer so to me it was just another tourist attraction, for many people, however, it is a very important pace to visit.
The tiny perfum bottle which was made in Constantinople (nowadays Istanbul) contains the blood of Jesus, which arrived to Brugge in 13th century.
Besides the Holy Blood the chapel itself is very impressive and definitely worth a visit. The entrance is freem unless you want to get closer to the presious treasure.
When you visit a church and there are a lot of
tiles with text on the wall you can be sure that
the statue nearby is worshipped.
Catholic church does not forbid such thing.
This picture was taken in the Onze-Lieve_vrouwe
kerk in the 'Mariastraat' (mariastreet).
The wall behind and even opposite of the statue
are full off thank you tiles. It is so that people
come to pray in front of the statue and ask
for something special. (like the recovery of a beloved
of to pass an exam...or something more serious)
You light a candle with those wishes...
(don't forget to pay for the candle - it is self
service but you are supposed to donated
the asked money in the bin.)
If it worked - big time - people donate such
a tiles. (the H. Rita works very well for the
hopeless - de hopeloze gevallen)
I don't take it all too serious but if it doesn't helps ,
it didn't hurt either...and I got great experiences with the Holy Rita. :-)
Any idea why this town is called "Brugge"?
Well, back in the 9th century there was a good trading relationship with Scandinavia. The Scandinavian called it "Bryggia", which is an old Norse word for "landing place" or "quayside".
