Flower Market
Don't forget to explore the surrounding area! The architecture around the market is stunning, and it’s a great chance to capture some truly beautiful photos.
consider budgeting a little extra for a fresh flower bouquet. it was reasonable, and having beautiful flowers during my trip was totally worth it!
The Royal Palace
Cubic Houses
Erasmus Bridge
Oudekerk
Before you go, definitely download an audio guide app or check if your phone has offline maps. I struggled with directions a bit and it wasted time!
Begeinhof
Bring some snacks! I wish I had because you could easily spend an hour or two just soaking in the atmosphere and it would be nice to munch a little while relaxing.
If you're into architecture, take your time here. There’s so much detail that you can easily miss in a rush. I think you’ll appreciate it a lot more if you slow down.
I recommend visiting early in the morning, around 9 AM, to avoid the crowds. It’s such a peaceful experience and you’ll get the best photos without people everywhere.
The 9 Streets
Grab a quick bite from one of the local bakeries or cafes. I found a cozy spot serving fresh pastries that were way cheaper than the touristy restaurants but way tastier!
Check out the little vintage shops; they're often overlooked but have amazing finds. I picked up a unique piece that I still get compliments on!
Be prepared for unpredictable weather. I got caught in a rain shower, so having a light rain jacket handy was a lifesaver!
Van Stapele Koekmakerij
Magere-Bruges
Our Beloved Church
If you’re on a budget, check for days when entrance fees are reduced or pay-what-you-want. I saved a bit by timing my visit right.
Don't forget to look up! The ceiling artwork is stunning and often gets overlooked. I almost missed it but glad I took a moment to appreciate the details.
