Romantic Cycling around Bruges

Bruges is a nice town with surprisingly peaceful surroundings, the perfect place for a cycling trip! The best examples to describe the beauty of the region are the North Sea Coast or the typical polder landscapes. But, of course, Bruges is much more than a cycling destination. This town is also known as the ‘Venice of the North’ and is in many people’s opinion the most beautiful Belgian city. Enjoy the small medieval town centre with its narrow canals, its numerous chocolate stores, its musea… Bruges has it all!
