After our 180 mph train ride we slowed down to two-wheel speed on a guided cycle tour. Bruges is such a bike-friendly place but if you lack confidence like us, the Quasimundo cycle tour is a perfect introduction.
We had a such a laugh, meeting fellow ‘bike virgins’ and cycling the wrong way up one-way streets (it’s legal here!). They even provided a tag-along for our seven year-old, who kept hopping off to take photos.
The 2½ hour tours operate daily and we recommend it’s the first thing you do when you arrive.
