If you're travelling from Paris to Belgium like me, you'll need to know that there isn't a straight route. First, take a high speed train from Paris to Belgium, after that, change to a domestic train at Brussels Midi Station and continue your journey to Bruges.
My journey from Paris Nord Station to Brussels Midi took 1hr 25min and the inland journey to Bruges took an hour.
It was the same vice versa. Take a train to Brussels Midi and not Brussels Central station. Trains from Paris leave from the former!

Just a couple of days before I travelled, I lucked out and bought a HALF-priced ticket online for my trip from Paris to Belgium.
My trip on the super-powered train-THALYS- between Paris and Belgium cost me only 30euros, a hefty 50% discount levied on account of a last minute deal.
Maybe travelling on a weekday (midweek) helped a lot. The train was half-empty when I boarded it.
After paying my credit card online, I printed out my own ticket which was later stamped by the ticketing man on board the train. There's no need for you to exchange the printed ticket for a "proper" ticket or anything like that!
You can do just the same thing I did. Just log on to http://www.thalys.com and click on "last minute deals" , with any luck, you'll find a discount waiting for you! Leave a Comment

Since I saved some $ on my train ticket from France to Belgium, I decided to splurge a little and paid for a first class ticket from Belgium to Bruges.
My ticket cost about 16euros ( a second class ticket cost about 10 euros ) and for the extra money, I had a lot more leg room and and a really comfy seat.

There are so many Buses in and out of Bruges that, one might think they are celebrating something. As you come outside the train station, you would see them in tens waiting patiently for their turn. Bruges is so different from Brussels and Antwerp in terms of population. Thus I guess the Buses outnumbered the people they are suppose to attend to. Or so I think. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

If you are visiting anywhere else in Belgium and want to visit Brugge, most likely you'll be best of to take the train. It's fast, easy and not very expensive. The train arrives in Brugge and it's very easy to find the city from the station. It's a great way to get to Brugge and to go to a different place after leaving Brugge. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

Bruges lies on the important railway line London-Brussels-Cologne and is accessible by direct trains from al main Belgian cities and various European cities.
The Belgian Railways (NMBS) offer a whole selection of mini trips and day trips to Bruges, departing from every railway station in Belgium.
The high-speed train Thalys runs from Bruges to Paris 3 times a day in 2 hours and 30 minutes. www.thalys.com.
The train station lies just outside the city centre. Cross the train station square and ring road and go straight ahead. Just follow the towers and you will get to the centre. Leave a Comment

If you are driving through Belgium and have a car, find a place to park it and don't plan on using it again until you leave. Brugge is a very walkable city as it isn't that big and it's a delight to walk through the streets.
Check with your hotel regarding parking, it appeared that parking restrictions existed throughout the entire city, near our hotel they said we could use the parking disk in our car and park for only 4 hours between certain times so we parked in their garage for an extra 5E per night. Look for the signs in the picture featuring one of the parking disks. I can't actually read the sign but if I had to take a guess it would be maximum 4 hours parking between 9 and 19 (7 pm).
