Bruges is a well-preserved medieval city, often called the Venice of the North. Your private Mercedes leaves from your Paris hotel door. Your driver handles the road and the border, so you arrive relaxed.
Once in town, you have four to five hours of free time. Climb the Belfry, ride a canal boat, walk to the Rozenhoedkaai, visit the Beguinage and stop in a real chocolate shop. The itinerary is flexible, so tell us what matters to you.
