Two Belgian cities in one day: Brussels and Bruges from Paris

A guided day trip from Paris to Brussels and Bruges, traveling by air-conditioned coach with a live guide in English or Spanish. You'll see Brussels' Grand Place (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), Manneken Pis, and Mont des Arts with its city views, then travel to Bruges to walk the Lake of Love and Mary's Bridge. The chocolate tasting is optional at checkout; all other stops and free time are included on every option.

The Experience

The day starts with a coach pickup and a 4-hour drive from Paris to Brussels. Once there, a guide leads you through the city's main landmarks: the Grand Place, a UNESCO World Heritage Site ringed by guild halls; Manneken Pis, the small bronze statue that's become Brussels' most recognizable symbol; and a Tintin mural where Hergé's comic characters are painted across a building facade. You'll climb Mont des Arts and stand at the top of its grand staircase to see the city spread out below, then have free time to wander, eat, or shop before heading back to the coach.

After another 3.5-hour drive, you arrive in Bruges, known as the Venice of the North for its canals and medieval streets. The guide takes you to the Lake of Love (Minnewater), where swans drift past an old bridge, and across Mary's Bridge for views of the city's skyline and waterways. You'll also tour the Town Hall, a Gothic structure with a bell tower and decorated interior chambers. Like in Brussels, you get free time after the guided portion to explore on your own.

The chocolate tasting is optional and added at checkout; if you choose it, that replaces part of your free time in one of the cities. Either way, you're back on the coach for the 4-hour return to Paris by evening. Bring your passport—you're crossing an international border—and some cash, since not all shops accept cards. The full day runs about 16 hours from pickup to drop-off.
