48 Hours in BRUGES, Belgium – City Guide
In February 2025 we took another trip into Belgium to visit Bruges. Join us in our tour around the city to the most iconic locations and landmarks, to give YOU the inspiration to hopefully visit Bruges. You definitely need more than 48 hours to visit, experience and enjoy this city, but our quick visit was perfect!
Bruges, the capital of West Flanders in Belgium, is one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval cities, known for its picturesque canals, historic buildings, food and of course, Beer!
Founded in the early Middle Ages, Bruges flourished as a major trading hub during the 12th to 15th centuries. The famous Belfry of Bruges, the Grote Markt, and the stunning Church of Our Lady, which houses Michelangelo’s Madonna and Child, all reflect the city’s medieval heritage.

Hi Alessa & Brett! The historic architecture of the square was so distinctive and attractive. The view from the tower was fabulous. Thank you for your fantastic tour and narration. Ooh, the beer tour was fun! 🍻 Belgium chocolate – yum!! 😋 The Basilica looked amazing. Incredibly beautiful. The Fries museum was fun. What a gorgeous cathedral interior. Stunning. Bruges looks like a brilliant place to visit. So much to see. Thanks for the awesome tour ❤
Alessa and Brett, Brilliant walking tour. I am amazed by the architecture at the square….feels like that I am standing back in the day..Gorgeous. The rich history and its legacy..You really nailed it. The modernized inside of museum, but never overpowered by, but respect its heritage, I reckon. Thank you for sharing another outstanding work.
Nice place to visit beautiful town and church , beautiful buildings. Thanks for showing us around Pinned on Places 👍
Hello Alessa and Brett, this was a fantastic walk around the City. Loved the Tower, wow 366 steps, lots of beautiful buildings and the church was stunning. The view of the lake over the lovers bridge was so pretty. So many lovely places to go for a beer. So many stunning buildings along the Quay. Love the cobblestone streets, so much to see , great narration Alessa, take care x Julie and Tony x
That was a cool tour of a very special city. Well filmed and narrated too. I'll have to head back for another visit now, and no its nothing to do with the beer and frites!
That was a wonderful tour, my friends. Thank you for taking us along ❤
Nice tour. Been on may way back from France a few years ago but didn't even see a quarter of this – very cool
Phenomenal tour, city looks so enchanting and unique! Architecture is just spectacular!👏👏
A lovely tour of a beautiful city. So many interesting things to do. Well filmed and narrated. Brilliant 🧸🐻
Amazing vlog. I once breifly visited here when on a mini cruise. Didn't really get to explore due to time limitations so really appreciate you showing us around. Love the belgium chocolate shops and the gothic architecture. Enjoyed the story behind the bridge. You've put this together beautifully and the narration is perfect. Such a wonderful location. Hope you have had a lovely Sunday. Matt & Bec 😊❤
What a beautiful city Bruges is. We visited a few years ago at christmas time. Its beautiful. Thanks for sharing your day with us 😊👍
I’m so impressed with what you both achieved in 48 hours, you really showed off the area!
So beautiful city thanks for sharing friend 👍
Bruges ( or Brugge as I first learned about it) has been one of my favourite places in Europe for decades. So picturesque!!
Well done climbing all those steps for the great view! 👍
Quite a beer museum! I know it's famous in Belgium. Since I'm not a drinker 🍺… I enjoy a lot of waffles 🧇, fries 🍟, and chocolate 🍫 in Belgium 😂
Hi! Your journey was so beautiful and mesmerizing that I felt like I was there! Thank you for sharing! I enjoyed watching it until the end. I hope you have a happy weekend, dear friend❤💞💕✨
The 2Be bar sounds shakespearean😂
I highly recommend the boat tour!! 👍👍
Absolutely brilliant video, Alessa and Brett!
Brilliant video my friend! 👍👍😊😊
My pc decided to have some internet problems yesterday, so I had to rewatch the video today. I love the older style of the buildings, they look so much more interesting. Todays modern style looks boring to me. Wow, the view from the tower over the city is stunning. I feel like, that 48 hours in Bruges is not enough, there are so much to see.
I've never been there, it’s truly amazing. They don't call it the "Venice of the North" for nothing. Your great video takes us through this stunning medieval city with charming canals, cobblestone streets, and well-preserved Gothic architecture 👍❤️🤗
Absolutely beautiful tour of the sights! The history and architecture are just stunning! I bet visiting this city during Christmas would feel like a dream as you step back in time! That Basicilla was just wow! 😮 Absolutely wonderful!! The Church was stunning! My goodness, so many wonderful sights and artifacts! Just WOW!!
What a beautiful tour video 😊
Wonderful place
Nice guide 😊
Morning guys
Fabulous video of 48 hours in Bruges. We've never visited but it looks a great place to visit
Another city to add to our list.
You definitely covered a lot.
Great narration?, loved hearing about all the sites and buildings.
We would definitely try and go up the tower, the views looked fab
We love going into churches when we are away, the Church of our Lady looked beautiful
The cathedral looks stunning inside
You can see why they call it the Venice of the North.
Hope you've had a fabulous weekend ❤
Went past Bruges while going to Brussels, I think Brussels you can get around everywhere in Belgium, but Zerbrugge I think is a working port town
Great and beautiful Bruges, Belgium travel video, nice sharing, big like 41st!

Hi Alessa and Brett. I have fond memories of a day trip to Bruges back in the early 1990s with my parents. We were holidaying in Northern France and my father drove to Bruges. We explored the streets and I took a few photos (on film back then) . The highlight of the day for me was a Salvador Dali exhibition which was taking place in one of the buildings (it may have been the Belfry building – it is so long ago now) there were so many original artworks on the touring exhibition. Other fond memories were the pretty canals and the architecture – oh and the frites (with mayo) wagons which were in the Markt square. Thanks for triggering all those happy memories.
Very beautiful sharing 👍
