panoramic view of the city below.

With its winding canals, turreted medieval towers and cobbled
streets, it is di cult to resist Bruges’ bewitching charms. Whilst
there is much to be seen on foot, a canal cruise provides the

Alternatively, visit Minnewater Lake (the Lake of Love). Framed by
elegant towers and populated by graceful swans, it’s a relaxing,
romantic retreat from the lively city centre.

A third day in Bruges gives you the perfect opportunity to head
by rail for a day trip to Belgium’s vibrant capital, Brussels.

Brussels. Here you can trace the craft and development of Belgium’s
