One of the most perfectly preserved medieval cities in Europe, Bruges has been one of our most popular destinations for many years. Famous for its lace shops, magnificent churches and, of course, chocolate.

A holiday in Bruges is like taking a trip back in time as you wander through cobbled streets surrounded by historic buildings as horse drawn carriages go by and a trip on one of the canal boats gives you a unique view of ‘the Venice of the north’.

One of the best city break destinations in Northern Europe.

4* Portinari Hotel We have used this hotel for many years and in our opinion it offers the best value for money in the centre of Bruges and is of an excellent standard. Centrally located, the 4* Hotel Portinari is situated directly opposite the central fountain with an array of pavement bars and cafes close by where you can watch the world go by.

:

After being collected from your local pick up point around 7.30am we travel to Folkestone for the Eurotunnel crossing to Calais.

From Calais, Bruges is only 1 ½ hours away.

DAY 2

:

Full day in Bruges. The compact city centre is easy to explore and there are plenty of attractions to occupy your time. In the morning we shall be joined by a local guide for a short walking tour to learn the fascinating history of the town (Included). A boat cruise around the city is also an excellent way to see the sights. Other attractions include the Diamond Museum and Chocolate Museum. Or you can simply relax in the pavement cafes & bars and soak up the atmosphere.

The Portinari is elegantly furnished and boasts all modern facilities. The hotel has a small bar and café. Each of the 37 en-suite bedrooms have colour TV, telephone and hairdryer. Lift to all floors.
