Creator's Key Takeaways

We've switched locations now from the Canary Islands to Sicily.

The smart strategy is fly into one and depart from the other.

I want to give them the best possible memory and experience of Bruges.

You really need to book at least three nights over here.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Withdraw about €250 in cash upon arrival for smaller establishments and markets.
✓Use WhatsApp for communication with hosts, guides, and drivers.
✓Wear comfortable footwear due to cobblestones and uneven sidewalks.
✓Book at least three nights in Bruges to fully experience the city.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Navigating narrow roads and local driving style — Consider an international driver's permit or hire a driver.
Dealing with ZTL zones in historic city centers — Avoid entering historic centers in Palermo or Catania to avoid automated fines.
