train from brugge to brussels

we will be in brugge for a 3 night stay in october and would like to go to brussels for the day by train.Will it be cheaper to book day return tickets in advance or should we just go to the station in brugge to book.Any advice will be much appreciated.

Belgian Railways doesn%26#39;t do %26quot;day returns%26quot; and neither do prices differ according to whether you buy in advance or on the day - either way, you can%26#39;t book a seat anyway, on local trains. What does make a difference is travelling at weekends: a return ticket on Saturday or Sunday costs €13 compared with €12.30 one way on a weekday (so €24.60 return).

There are also %26quot;B-Excursions%26quot;, which are like day returns except that they include something more than just the transport, e.g. bus tour or entry to museums. There are 7 different ones to Brussels, which are as follows, giving prices from Brugge (Group C) per adult :

ruxelles-Central: Scientastic Museum + Chocolate Museum (€23.20

Bruxelles-Central : Visit Brussels Line (€27.30)

Bruxelles-Central : BELvue Museum and Coudenberg archaeological site (€19.40)

Bruxelles-Central : Musical Instrument Museum and Fine Arts Museums (€20)

Bruxelles-Central : Brussels Card 24h (€31)

Bruxelles-Luxembourg : Dinsosaurs gallery - natural history museum (€19.20)

Bruxelles-Schuman : Cinquantenaire museums (€22.30) (Note: the Army Museum, from which you can go up to the top of the Cinquantenaire archway, is free anyway so don%26#39;t go for this one unless you also want to visit the Royal Art %26amp; History Museum and/or Autoworld)
