We arrive in Zeebrugge this morning. Nestled along Belgium's coast, you'll find maritime history and serene beauty. Explore the historic port, visit the Maritime Museum, and savour Belgian cuisine at seaside cafes. With picturesque views of the North Sea, it's a charming retreat for those seeking a refreshing coastal experience. For those wishing to explore city sights, optional transport and excursions are available to visit Bruges, the captivating capital of the Flanders region. Often referred to as the 'Venice of the North' due to its picturesque tree-lined canal network, this medieval city is a compact treasure trove of architectural, cultural and culinary delights, perfect for exploration on foot. Bruges is also heaven for chocolate or beer aficionados, with plenty to taste, sample and even take home! Why not explore the charming sights by water on a sightseeing cruise or a romantic carriage ride along winding cobblestone streets and ancient bridges? Recommended highlights include the enchanting Lake of Love, the iconic Belfry Tower, and the Basilica of the Holy Blood.
