Here are a some Driftaway Trip Tips before embarking on your Bruges & Brussels adventure. Belgian Chocolate, beer or both?
CANAL TOUR
Take a canal tour, it’s a great way to explore and learn about the city from a different perspective whilst experiencing some awesome sites.
GO CHOCOLATE CRAZY
Feast on chocolate - there are dozens upon dozens of chocolate boutiques… a country famous for chocolate that you don't want to miss out on!
HOW TO GET AROUND
Use metro, trams & buses to explore the cities! Ticket vending machines are in the metro & main tram or bus stations and are nice & cheap.
SAVE YOUR CHANGE
Keep some change for the toilet... "Madame/Monsieur Pipi” as known locally, are a fixture of fast-food restaurants, stations, clubs, malls and even cinemas.
SAMPLE LOCAL BEERS
Belgium is one of the biggest beer exporters in Europe but they have over 600 beers that are produced only for local consumption!
BRING YOUR GCSE FRENCH
Brussels is bilingual (French/Dutch), but French is the most widely spoken language and English is understood and spoken more readily than in Paris!
