How far is the sea from Bruges and how easy is it to reach it?
I am planning a day trip to Bruges. I was looking at the map and I saw that the city seems really close by to the sea.
Is it easy to reach? is there public transportation? how long would it take?
I know some may consider this a bit more subjective, but is it worth going to the shore line? what should I expect there (beach, harbour, ...)?
Best Answer
Brugge is actually a seeaside town in itself, through Zeebruge, it's harbor, which is a full part of the city. Zeebrugge can be easily reached from Brugge by train, but so can Blankenberge, Knokke, Heist and Oostende. Oostende has the most frequent train service. There is a tram linking all the coastal resorts, so you could just go down to one, and return from another.

Answer 2
Maybe this might help someone in the future: I ended up going to Ostend, which is roughly 15 min away from Bruges. That was the last train stop, so instead of leaving in Bruge I just kept going. It's a coastal city as already mentioned. Meanwhile, while there, I discovered there is a Tram from Ostend to Zeebruge which might be an intersting tour. You can then return to Bruge from Zeebruge.
