Bruges and Ghent are two of Belgium's most attractive cities, and both have much to tempt the visitor: winding cobbled streets that sit side-by-side with canals are overlooked by Gothic buildings; the streets are lined with cafes and bars that are cosy during the winter, and spill out onto the street during the summer. Berlitz Pocket Guide Bruges and Ghent is a concise, full-colour travel guide that combines lively text with vivid photography to highlight the best that these two cities have to offer.

Recommended Hotels

With more than 100 hotels throughout the city, Bruges has a wide range of establishments and locations. Hotels that are part of an international chain will provide a predictable degree of comfort, but guests may miss the more authentic Flemish hospitality offered by locally run establishments. The tourist information office provides brochures listing hotels. It is always advisable to book in advance. Bruges is particularly crowded in the summer, tending to be busiest at weekends. If you trust to luck and arrive with no place to stay, go straight to the tourist office (for more information, click here), which can almost guarantee to find you something.

Prices are based on the cost per night of a double room with en-suite bath or shower, including service charge, sales tax and breakfast. Rates can vary according to the season or time of the week. All the hotels listed here accept major credit cards.
