Bruges, The Medieval City of Belgium

Posted on August 28, 2021October 31, 2022

Bruges, Belgium is overflowing with authentic and medieval impacts. This is a standout amongst the most well known medieval urban areas in all of Europe. I first found out about the city through “In Bruges“, the movie which obviously promoted it and highlighted its delightful construction modeling. I thought this city was extremely enchanting, however once I got there, I figured that it’s exceptionally costly and touristy. It’s quite boring if you travel alone (that’s what happened to me) and I wouldn’t go back unless I have some people with me because Bruges is not a wild party city.

Accommodation and Food

I paid USD22 per night for a good hostel dorm room and you can expect to be paying around SUD47 for a private room. I stayed in Snuffel Backpackers Hostel and was quite surprised that they additionally have extraordinary brewskie specials. For budget hotels, it usually begin at about USD80 per night for a nice double room. Now for the food, fast food and casual meals cost me round USD13. A sit-down restaurant with table service cost me from USD27 and up for a meal. French fries and a great snack called Frites cost me around USD4. On the off chance that you need to cook your dinners, there are some extraordinary markets all around the nation. USD60 for a week’s value of foodstuffs should be expected.

Transportation and Money Saving Tips

Most of the city is pretty accessible via foot. However, in the event that I needed to take a taxi, I paid USD13 for anyplace in the city. Bus is definitely a better option for budget-saver like me. At a standard expense of USD2 for each trip, I got the chance to save more money by buses. Bus tickets are about USD1 more if you purchase on the bus itself. For those under 25, you can easily pick up entrance to the museum of the city for simply USD1.50. Unless you’ve eaten and drank too much of chocolate and beer and are so full it would be impossible walk, strolling is the most ideal approach to get around. The greater part of the city’s primary attractions are inside 15 minutes stroll of one another. There’s truly no reason I would take a taxi or even buses. It’s not an huge city. By the way, the little Brugescard qualifies you for rebates at a hefty portion of the primary attractions and on bicycle rental.

What Did I Do?

The city’s focal square, Grote Markt, has a great deal of restaurants and bars around it. I took a gander at the city’s turret from this square as well. I would recommend avoiding the restaurants around here though because they are aimed for vacationers and highly priced. Throughout Christmas time, this area will changed into a market of Christmas, complete with its unique ice-skating arena. I also took a trench outing down the corridors of Bruges via the Canal Tour. A half hour vessel outing around the conduit took me around mystery enclosures, pleasant extensions and lavishly outlined, medieval structures. This is an impeccable approach to catch the enchantment of the city, which cost me around USD8.

Like I said, I would come back to Bruges if the trip is going to be a solo one next time. Despite all that, I still think the city is an amazing one on its own. I believe a lot of people out there would agree with me as well.
