Valentine’s weekend in Bruges
As you sit sipping Vin Rouge on the cobbled square while artists and musicians bustle by, you’ll understand what romance means. Spend Valentine’s weekend in Bruges and let the city show you true love.
Bruges city centre
Soak up the fantasy…
With some buildings dating back to the 12th Century and many built using grand medieval stones, you will feel part of a Gothic fairytale even if you only manage the Valentine’s weekend in Bruges. And thankfully Bruges has not been spoiled by tourism. The locals still go to the Church of Our Lady to Worship, they still walk along the Dijver canal and they still hang traditional lace in their windows.
More efficient than a magic carpet…
Finding a flight to Bruges is no longer a problem and many airlines now fly directly from the main UK airports. You can take a train or the airport express to the centre of the town or if you’re keen to see quaint little Belgium like the locals then why not try hire a car. There is plenty to explore on the outskirts of the city and having your own transport is an easy way to do this.
And when the glass slipper drops…
Valentine ’s Day only happens once a year and Valentine’s weekend in Bruges is a once in a lifetime experience. If you want to get the most out of the city forget the hostels and opt for a hotel in Bruges instead. Be a king in the Kempinski Dukes Palace Hotel, a delicate fleur in the Floris Hotel Karos or go for a more modern style of sophistication in the Apollo Arthotel.
