Things to do in Bruges
Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. Horses, tower and torture. That’s it, that’s the blog.
Where’s the torture, I hear you cry? Was it the bumping around on a horse and carriage after consuming ten tons of chocolate? No. Bruges has the most gruesome Torture Museum I’ve ever seen, so gruesome that I didn’t want to return this year. My first experience age 10 scarred me for life, but it’s definitely worth visiting and certainly something you’ll remember forever.
Likewise, I’d climbed the Bruges Tower before. It has 366 very slim steps and I’m confident I’d be able to climb it again with my Genium X3, but on this occasion the gentle sightseeing via horse and carriage won out. But I do recommend a visit as the view from the top is breath-taking.
For amputees or people with mobility issues I’d suggest you head straight to the town square. Bruges is very small and everything is easily accessible, but the best way to decide where you want to spend your energy exploring is to see the whole city first from the comfort of a carriage.
The horses are lined up in the town square and an hour tour will cost you 60 Euros.
This way you get to see all of the wonderful streets and canals and make note of which chocolate shops look the best – (they’re all wonderful!)
I’d then recommend a leisurely day wandering the streets and visiting all of the gorgeous cafes and trinket shops.
