Hotel recomendations and must see places for Bruges

Hi,

Does any one have any hotel / bed and breakfast suggestions for me? I will be in Bruges for one night and would like to stay close to the center city/must see places so that we do not spend time commuting.

Please let me know which area to stay in?

From an earlier post, I was suggested to visit %26quot;bell tower at the market-place%26quot;. Any one has any other suggestions? I am not at all a museum person.

More suggestions please... !!!

Thanks :)

Hi,

I recomend the following: Horse and carriage ride, visit to Half Maan brewery, Canal boat tour, Self guide walking tour ( from Tourist information office ), visit to a selection of the fantastic bars in the town.

Maybe hire bicycles for an easy cycle around the city, there are several hire shops in the town and your hotel will be able to help with this, or to suggest an itinery.

Hotel wise, just check out any of the booking sites, you%26#39;ll be able to get a good 3/4star Hotel for $100-$150. The majority of the tourist hotels are located in the city centre and should be a pleasant walk to wherever you go to.

Thanks a lot :)

Lots of b%26amp;b recs here on TA, just read them. There are many dozens of accomodations in Bruges.

Halve Maan Brewery Tour (admission includes a taste of Bruges Zot beer at end) is supposed to be good, if touristy.

Michelangelo%26#39;s Madonna with Child sculpture in the Church of Our Lady is superb, but maybe not for a non-museum person.

Only one night? You%26#39;ll want to pick a place near the Market or Burg squares.

travelocity/priceline europe/venere/booking.com are good sites to check for hotel deals.

Enjoy.

Hi,

We spent one night in Bruges last week. We stayed at Martin%26#39;s Brugge. Very central - just behind the Belfry. We enjoyed our stay there. Mixed reviews on the hotel review page though.

We would definately stay there again though - had good experience.

Enjoy your stay.

If you have not gone to Bruges yet, I suggest that you indulge into beer tasting there: http://www.brugsbeertje.be/index_en.htm

And visit the brewery where the %26#39;Straffe Hendrik%26#39; beer is brewed www.trabel.com/brugge-m-straffe_hendrik.htm
