Zeebrugge is a small seaside resort on the coast of Belgium. Cruise passengers who dock here often take the opportunity to visit the particularly worthwhile Bruges.
Cruise destination Zeebrugge
Zeebrugge boasts a stunning sandy beach and Belgium's best fish. But the true attractions are 15 kilometres away in picturesque Bruges. If Bruges didn't exist yet, Anton Pieck would have invented it. The medieval spires, the canals and stepped gables of the mansions along the quays; all equally fairytale-like. Enchanting Bruges is a delight to stroll around during your cruise in northern Europe.
Bruges has countless landmarks. Climb the beautiful 13th-century Belfort, for example, for a stunning view of the historic city centre. Visit Groeningemuseum to find yourself eye-to-eye with paintings by Jan van Eyck and Hieronymus Bosch. Book a guided tour at the chocolate museum or a boat tour around the canals of Bruges. Boek een rondleiding in het chocolademuseum of maak een boottochtje over de Brugse reien. At the end of the day, settle down on a terrace by the market to enjoy a Belgian craft beer and local specialities such as fries with stew, mussels or Gentse Waterzooi.
