Creator's Key Takeaways

Zabuga is a commercial port first. It is not a pretty cruiseport terminal at all.

We were no problem. We even could buy everything with it.

Bruges is a excellent, wonderful, fun little city as well.

For us to do it on our own was a significant savings.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring a raincoat or umbrella due to unpredictable weather.
Use toilets at restaurants or museums to avoid paying 50 cents.
Take the train to Bruges for a cost-effective and easy option.
