Accessible Travel to Bruges

By John Sage One of the quaintest cities in Europe, Bruges offers a relaxing getaway for disabled visitors.  The silting up of the main canal caused this city to be frozen in time and the charming 17th century buildings and ambience remain.  Wheelchair users may be challenged by the omnipresent cobblestones but fortunately the city center is relatively small. Public transportation is not available to get between the tourist sites and taxis are few.  Our Bruges Accessibility Review lists the pros and cons of accessibility in this wonderful city.

“The holiday was excellent, everything that we wanted and then more! The hotel was outstanding! Sis and I just stood in our room with our jaws hitting the floor, it was wonderful to wake up in such beautiful surroundings every day. The staff were great and the facilities perfect, we couldn't have been anywhere better. Brugge itself was gorgeous and when we met Maurice on our guided tour, sis almost packed him up to come home with us! He was so knowledgeable, and we can't say enough about how much we enjoyed his company, thank you so much for arranging it, it was one of our highlights. This is just to say a very big THANK YOU!! and that comes from us all.” -Tania, Manual Wheelchair User, UK...Read more client feedback
