Highlights
Why it works here
Bruges is small enough to walk in a half day but rich enough in history to fill a week. Wexplo's GPS-triggered stories catch the details you'd otherwise miss — why the canals silted up and preserved the medieval city, where the Flemish Primitives painted, and how chocolate became a Bruges trademark.
April to June or September for quiet canals and comfortable walking. December for Christmas markets.

Compact center — everything on foot
Walk to the Begijnhof early in the morning before tour groups arrive. This 13th-century courtyard of whitewashed houses is one of the most peaceful spots in Belgium, and Wexplo narrates the beguine women who lived here for 700 years.
