Tourists start arriving around Easter when the weather warms up and the city hosts a number of events. The Procession of the Holy Blood is one of the oldest and most solemn religious events in the world and attracts thousands of spectators. Held on Ascension Day (May), this event is focused around Bruges most sacred religious artefact, a piece of cloth which is said to have drops of Jesus Christ’s blood on it. A procession takes place through the city which includes a series of religious and historical events being re-enacted. As this is a very popular event, it would be wise to book accommodation and flights for this period well in advance.
The city continues to be quite crowded through the summer, particularly on weekends and during school holidays. If you are looking for good deals on flights to Bruges and accommodation then it is advised not to travel during these times.
Spring is beautiful and mostly mild but can have chilly days. Autumn experiences a similar climate and during both these seasons there are fewer crowds, making it one of the best times to book flights to Bruges. Spring also hosts the annual Bruges Beer Festival (February). Join around 15,000 other locals and tourists to sample over 300 beers. Be sure to pair that with some of the delicious Flemish food, the festival also has on offer.
The low tourist season is winter, between November and January, when the cold is unrelenting, the canals can also freeze up enough for ice skating. If you don’t mind braving the cold, then this can be a good time to look for cheaper flights and hotel rates. You can also get into the festive spirit at Bruges Christmas Market.

Very crowded flight. Staff brought refreshments regularly and the food was surprisingly good. But checking was very slow and they allowed way too many people with large suitcases on board making onboarding and off-boarding very slow and chaotic.

If you’re longing for a trip back in time then book a flight to Bruges and transport yourself to the 13th century. The preserved medieval city has some of the finest examples of Gothic architecture and art in Europe, drawing millions of tourists each year and making it Belgium’s most visited city.
The best way to explore this picturesque city is on foot. Stroll through its quiet cobbled streets and stop into a church or two along the way. Boat rides along the canal and a guided tour of the city on a horse-drawn cab are a must. Or venture further east to the quaint village of Damme and visit the 15th-century mansion, the Saint-Jean d’Angély House, then have lunch in one of the town’s excellent restaurants. Book your Bruges flight in spring when the weather’s pleasant and the hordes of tourists haven’t arrived yet.
Belgium has mild summers and cold winters because of the icy Baltic winds. Bruges is no exception to this climate. Summer temperatures can reach the mid-20s and this is when Bruges is usually packed with visitors who wish to spend their time exploring one of the most perfectly preserved medieval cities in Europe.
Bruges is the most popular Belgian destination for tourists, most of whom set out to sightsee on foot. It’s easy to walk around this city of winding waterways and cobblestone streets, or you can sit pretty on a horse-drawn carriage or canal boat and explore the city that way. There are also buses that traverse the city limits and trains to get you elsewhere in Europe.
The main airport for travellers taking flights to Bruges is Ostend Bruges International Airport (BRU), which is about 15 miles from the city centre.
A busy European airport, Brussels International Airport (BRU) is well-situated for further flights around Europe and Asia, but handles traffic from all over the world. Brussels Airlines is based here, and flies directly to more than 40 cities around Europe. Most recently, Thai Airways International and Brussels Airport have established a direct route between Bangkok and Brussels.
Located 11km (7 miles) northeast of Brussels in Zaventem, the airport was awarded Best Airport in Europe by the Airports Council International in 2005. Although that was a few years ago, the level of service hasn’t changed, and the airy and spotlessly clean airport is a genuine pleasure to use. You should, however, keep your belongings close at hand, as pickpockets are becoming more common, especially in the public areas before security. Also note that staff shortages have seen the average luggage collection wait-time increase to over 30 minutes.
