Creator's Key Takeaways

We've used the cruise express service before and we found it really convenient.

We have previously done one and it was fantastic.

It was a great atmosphere.

We highly recommend that if it's your first time in Bruge that you pop on one of these canal tours.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Purchase Cruise Express tickets in advance to secure your spot.
Look for the red bridge when leaving the cruise express to head straight into the center of Bruges.
Use the toilet near the ice rink for the first opportunity, but be aware of the €1 cost.
