No visit to Belgium is complete without a visit to these two beautiful cities, just a short drive from Brussels. IntroductionDiscover two of Flanders' special gems on a full day trip to Ghent and Bruges. No visit to Belgium is complete without a visit to these two beautiful cities, just a short drive from Brussels. After a one-hour drive through the scenic Belgium countryside you'll arrive in Ghent. Here you will visit the St. Bavo Cathedral, home of the world-famous "Mystic Lamb" painting (optional, closed on Sunday). During your city tour of Ghent you will see important buildings from the Middle Ages, such as the Belfry, the St. Nicolas Church and the Castle of the Counts of Flanders. Next, while driving through the Flemish countryside to Bruges, you can hear an audio history of Flanders, Ghent and Bruges via headphones. Upon arrival in Bruges, you'll visit the Lake of Love (Minnewater) and the Beguinage (convent). Take advantage of some free time to enjoy lunch (not included) before you start a walking tour to discover: Our Lady Church with a statue by Michelangelo, the Market Square with the Belfry, and the Town Hall Square (Burg) with the Chapel of the Holy Blood. After the walking tour you can take an optional boat cruise along the canals. You will depart Bruges at approximately 6:30pm.

Our tour guide was a little dry, but he gave us some interesting information. Time in both places to walk around and take pictures. Definitely walk over St. Michael's bridge while you're in Ghent for picturesque views. 2012-02-08 Jennifer K , Excellent tour. Nice to know about 1400-1700 years. Very much historical information. 2012-01-12 Gustavo B , Canada It was an enjoyable tour. Travelled on my own but met a lot of fellow travellers there. It was rainy and wet during our tour but we still enjoyed it. I just wish we got to do the boat tour in Bruges but our tour guide said the weather was not good, but then I saw the queue was so long and I think that's the reason why he didn't suggest it because our time is limited. 2012-01-11 Marjorie E , This was an excellent trip, especially for someone traveling alone wanting to spend a little time in areas outside of Brussels. 2012-01-06 Dawn B , Just amazing! Well planned, well managed and the tour guide was superb! I would say only one thing 'without visiting Ghent and Bruges, your Belgium trip is not completed! Cheers all. 2011-11-27 Gaurav R , Excellent trip. Much more than I expected. We visited Ghent and Bruges. The guide was very interesting and informative and the pace was excellent. We returned late and they dropped everyone off as close to their hotels as possible, Well worth it! 2011-11-27 Lydia B , This was an amazing day trip, loved it. The only down fall was the guide. He didnt even introduce himself and all he did was smoke every five minutes. He was very knowledable but was certainly just going through the motions. 2011-11-21 sue , Having been picked up from my hotel in the city, we started out on the bus trip to Ghent. The commentary is a mix of live commentary by the guide - in English, Spanish and French, and prerecorded commentary on headphones - in 8 languages. The guide was knowledgeable and approachable. The trip to Ghent takes about an hour. Ghent is a quaint little town with a number of churches and a square. The main church has the famous Ghent altar piece of the Lamb, worth seeing. Unfortunately there is only an hour to see the town, but better things await the visitor in Bruges. Bruges is delightful. Green grass, swans, canals, bridges, beautiful craft shops, waffles, pralines, marzipan, chocolates, beer, churches, The street scenes are as though from a painting, this town is probably my favourite in Europe. After the boat trip (well worth it!), we returned to the bus for the long trip back to Brussels. An excellent day out, better than staying in Brussels city itself! 2011-11-20 Mark P , Australia Brugge is wonderful, requires more time. Guide is very good. 2011-11-16 SET , Turkey
