For those who stay longer then 3 days in Bruges, Ghent might be a nice and beautiful escape. It only takes you 25 minutes by train and there is so much to see. Plenty of waterways, canals and rivers, churches and medieval houses. The city has had a revival over the last decade and is more than worth visiting. Once you have arrived in the train station take a taxi into town instead of the tram, especially when you or with 3 or more. You love it
