If you’re longing for a trip back in time then book a flight to Bruges and transport yourself to the 13th century. The preserved medieval city has some of the finest examples of Gothic architecture and art in Europe, drawing millions of tourists each year and making it Belgium’s most visited city.
The best way to explore this picturesque city is on foot. Stroll through its quiet cobbled streets and stop into a church or two along the way. Boat rides along the canal and a guided tour of the city on a horse-drawn cab are a must. Or venture further east to the quaint village of Damme and visit the 15th-century mansion, the Saint-Jean d’Angély House, then have lunch in one of the town’s excellent restaurants. Book your Bruges flight in spring when the weather’s pleasant and the hordes of tourists haven’t arrived yet.

Belgium has mild summers and cold winters because of the icy Baltic winds. Bruges is no exception to this climate. Summer temperatures can reach the mid-20s (Celsius), but the winter cold is unrelenting between November and January; the canals can freeze up enough for ice skating. Spring is beautiful and mostly mild but can have chilly days.
Peak Season:
One of the most perfectly preserved medieval cities in Europe, Bruges is packed with visitors in summer.
Tourists start arriving around Easter. The procession of the Holy Blood on the Feast of the Ascension (early May) is one of the oldest and most solemn religious events in the world and attracts thousands of spectators.
The city continues to be quite crowded through the summer, particularly on weekends and during school holidays.
Off Season:
November and January are low-season months.
Shoulder Season:
Spring and autumn are not too chilly and there are fewer crowds, making it the best time to book flights to Bruges.
