Alright /trv/ I'm currently backpacking around Europe and am heading to Bruges tomorrow. The problem is I've been forced to book 4 nights instead of 2 as the hostel in Amsterdam (where I'm going next) was overbooked.
So, my question is, how should I fill up my extra two days in Bruges?
go to Ghent
go to Antwerp
each can be done as a day-trip by train or car sharing.
Yeah day trip to Ghent. Bruges is overrated af and can be easily explored in a day
Hire a push bike and get a map. Follow the markings you see on the road. You can ride to small castles in the country and some other historic buildings that are on the outskirts of the city. I chose to ride to the sea. Beautiful ride, lots of cute towns to stop in and a few windmills in the fields to look at. The sea side town itself wasnt anything special. But definitely a highlight of belgium for me.
Belgium has pretty good railway infrastructure. Definitely see Ghent and Antwerp as the other people have said. Maybe Ostende or Knokke too.
