De Lijn is the company that manages public transport in the city. Over 20 buses connect the center with the more peripheral districts. For the small town, however, you can easily go around on foot.

The taxi rank is located near the central square and the train station. A medium-haul ride is around €10.

BIKES

The preferred way for getting around Bruges is by bike. Whether you want to stay in the center, whether you want to move through suggestive paths, and maybe reach the sea side. For the Blankeberge beach, for example, you need to travel just over 15 km from the center of Bruges.

Furthermore, the bike is the most ecological solution that there can be and, for this reason, our favorite.

There are numerous opportunities in the city to rent a bike. From experience, Ben’s Bike is one of the best solutions. Located in the center (‘t Zand 31), Ben’s Bike offers numerous rental solutions with excellent value for money. You will have a wide choice of bikes available in the parking lot, including (a few) electric bikes. Prices start at around €4 per hour, and €12 per day. It is open every day, including Sundays, with the possibility of returning the bike until 22:00 in the evening.

GETTING AROUND BRUGES BY BUS

Bruges is served by 58 urban and regional daytime lines. Buses are the ideal way, above all, to reach the more peripheral districts. Markt, Wollestraat and the Biekorf in Kuipersstraat are some of the stops you meet most frequently.

Buses run every day from approximately 05:50 to 22:00. The timetables, however, vary according to the line. Thanks to the night buses, it is possible to move around Bruges and the neighboring municipalities, even after 22:00, until 05:00 in the morning.

The public service is guaranteed by the De-Lijn transport company, which is particularly efficient and reliable in terms of punctuality and the service offered.
