Exploring Flanders from Bruges

Do you have some spare time? Surrounded by the sea, polders and forests, Bruges is your ideal base for exploring the area. Explore the nature of Bruges' woods and wetlands, or enjoy at the Coast with a salty sea breeze in your hair. In fact, thanks to Zeebrugge, Bruges has its own beach. Along the way you come across Lissewege, one of the most beautiful polder villages in the country. While in the serene Westhoek, you feel the echoes of the First World War. Or head off to one of Flanders' nearby historic cities. Enjoy!
