Hi All, we are travelling to Brugge this Friday for 6 nights, however we have just realised that Friday is a national public holiday in Belgium, does this mean that the bars and restaurants in Bruges will be open or shut ? also will the trains run as normal from Brussels ?, all help on this would be greatley appreciated.

Can anyone please tell me the best way of getting to Bruges.
Is it better to go by Eurotunnel or Eurostar. Once you get of the train which is the most direct and easiest route.
I am looking to stay over one night. With Eurostar is the connecting train close by.
Many thanks.

sorry have only been on the ferry from Hull but Bruges is great enjoy !
Hi,
Belgium is part of the Benelux countries, so it's in the right forum. Benelux was a trading partnership between BElgium NEtherlands LUxemburg, so the acronym BENELUX came into being. As one of the posts said you'll enjoy yourself no matter which way you get there

Hi Janey, we always fly to Belgium from Manchester, you can either fly to Brussels whch takes about an hour or so then catch a train from the airport to Brussels Midi then catch on direct in to Brugge whci takes just over an hour or so, you can also fly in to Antwerp and catch a regular train from there to Brugge also, but which ever way you go I am sure you will enjoy it, Brugge is a very special place especially if you like chocolate and beer.

Has anyone been to Bruges recently. If so can you recommend good places to stay and eat in. Thanks.
hello!
am running out of time to book my accom in Brugge...has anyone been to Hotels Jacobs or Ter Reien and are they okay?
If not, aNy hotel recommendation you can give would be appreciated...we want somewhere central, nice room and ideally a pool - budget is about £300 for five nights so hoping to get somewhere decent for that!
please help if you can!

Hi there
Largely on the advice of this site, we are off for a five night break in Bruges at the weekend...any advice about stuff to see and do, day trips and also costs of food, drink and travel would be really helpful.
Also, if anyone can give me some advice about getting from the airport in Brussels to Bruges (an idiot's guide is what I need to be honest) I would appreciate that too.
Sliema2, if you are reading this, you convinced me that Bruges was the way to go, but now I need some info!
Thanks in advance
