WHY BRUGES

Medieval canals, chocolate and a spa hotel — reachable by Eurostar and a local train.

Bruges is a small, perfectly kept city that suits an unhurried two nights: canal walks at dusk, the Groeninge, a Michelin lunch. We choose canal-side hotels with spas and gardens, and the route in by Eurostar via Brussels.
