Bruges and Brussels from London
Twin city rail break from London pairing lively Brussels with quiet Bruges
Railbookers operates this independent rail package, sold from London, linking Brussels and Bruges, listed at 5 days and 4 nights from $549 per person. Brussels is described as a buzzing city with bars, gourmet restaurants, shopping and museums, while Bruges offers a slower pace of life in its medieval streets. Travelers move between the two cities by train and set their own schedule each day, since there is no guide or escort. The operator's own description mentions three nights in each city, which does not match the listed duration exactly, so this suits travelers who are comfortable confirming the exact night split directly with Railbookers.
