Brugge

Islam in Brugge, Belgium, holds a significant presence within the city's diverse cultural fabric. Brugge, renowned for its medieval architecture and rich history, has seen an increasing number of Muslim residents and visitors over the years. As a result, various Islamic organizations and institutions have emerged to cater to the needs of the Muslim community.

One notable organization serving the Muslim population in Brugge is the Etnisch-culturele Minderheden Brugge (Ethnic-Cultural Minorities Brugge). Located at Diksmuidse Heerweg 169, this organization strives to promote the welfare and integration of ethnic and cultural minorities, including Muslims, within the city. Through its activities and initiatives, Etnisch-culturele Minderheden Brugge seeks to foster social cohesion, understanding, and mutual respect among different communities.

In addition to community organizations and the presence of masjids plays a crucial role in providing a space for Muslims to training their faith and engage in communal activities. One prominent mosque in Brugge is the مسجد بروج بلجيكا (Brugge Mosque Belgium), situated at Diksmuidse Heerweg 169/179. This mosque serves as a central hub for Muslims in Brugge, offering regular congregational prayers, religious education, and community gatherings.

Islamic events and festivals are also celebrated in Brugge, allowing Muslims to maintain their cultural and religious traditions. One such event is Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan and the month of fasting. During this joyous occasion, Muslims come together to pray, share festive meals, exchange gifts, and engage in acts of charity. The celebration of Eid al-Adha and the Feast of Sacrifice, is another important event observed by Muslims in Brugge.

The presence of Islam in Brugge highlights the city's commitment to inclusivity and multiculturalism. The local authorities and organizations strive to create an environment that embraces diversity and encourages dialogue among different communities. Efforts are made to promote interfaith understanding, tolerance, and cooperation, ensuring that Muslims in Brugge can training their faith freely and contribute positively to the city's social and cultural landscape.

How is the Climate in Bruges

Even by Belgian standards, Bruges has a poor reputation for its weather. Compared to other Western European city's like London and Paris and the weather in Bruges is colder and damper. Even in July and August, average daily maximum temperatures struggle to exceed 21°C (70°F) and rainfall averages 203 mm (8 in) a month. In autumn, temperatures drop off quite rapidly and winter months are damp and chilly.

The summer visitor should always be prepared for rain in Bruges and that warm and sunny weather is not constant during that season. The daily and monthly temperature variations are quite small - average highs and average lows don't exceed a range of 9°C (or 16°F).

What is the best way to fly to Bruegge

Bruges shares its airport with Ostend. The Ostend-Bruges International airport has a long runway and a seaside location providing for a picturesque approach, but unfortunately, it sees limited passenger traffic, pretty much limited to seasonal Flights to holiday destinations. It is also a major hub for cargo airlines, so planespotters may find it of interest.

More viable as a point of entry is the Brussels#By plane|Brussels National Airport, Belgium's largest, as well as Charleroi (Brussels South) and Lille, so getting to Bruges by train is by far the easiest way. Only one change at one of the three main stations is needed and the entire connection takes about 1.5h.

Travel by train to Bruegge

From Brussels

Travelling to Bruges on Belgium's excellent rail system is a natural choice. Trains to and from Brussels leave every 30min to Brugge station GPS: 51.197222,3.217222 during the day. The journey from Brussel-Zuid (Dutch) or Bruxelles-Midi (French) to Bruges takes about an hour. You can also travel from Brussels-Central or Brussels-North on the same line and trains travelling to Bruges are travelling in the direction of any coastal station except De Panne (so any train to Ostend / Oostende, Knokke or Blankenberge is fine). If you're travelling on the Eurostar that same day, this cost may be included in your ticket if it shows "Any Belgian Station". Otherwise, buy a ticket when you get to the station. Luggage lockers are available 06:00-22:00.

Be aware that trains are often full to and from Bruges, especially during rush hours, so if you or your colleagues have any problems with mobility you could be standing the whole trip or at best sitting in the entry area of the carriage. There isn't really any solution to this during the tourist season when Bruges is wall to wall people.

From Lille (France)

From the train station of Lille Flanders and there are hourly trains to Bruges. Though crossing the boundary might result in non-available reductions (s.a. the 10-rides card).

General info

All hotels are easily reachable on foot, it can also be done with a backpack. However, if you have a suitcase consider taking a taxi because the cobbled streets make the use of wheeled suitcases or carry-on bags difficult. Also be sure to wear comfortable shoes, because of the cobblestones.

How to travel to Bruegge by car

If you are planning a bus tour: be aware buses and camping vehicles are not allowed within the downtown. There is a perfect parking place for them on the south side of the city with a newly designed gangway bringing you directly into the heart of the town. It is in general a bad idea to venture inside with a car, as parking is limited and finding your way difficult. There are multi-storey vehicle parks a five-minutes walk from the downtown. Nice city mini-buses cruise the town with high frequency and in any case and the historical centre must be traversed on foot, by bicycle, by horse-drawn carriage or by boat to enjoy it.

By ferry

P&O Ferries operate a daily sailing every evening from Hull to Zeebrugge taking 12.5 hours for the crossing. The fares do not include the bus from the ferry hub to Bruges train station, which is GBP6.75 per person (each way).

DFDS Seaways Ferries operates ferries from Dover to Dunkirk every 2 hr. From Dunkirk, Bruges is 75 kilometers away. This can only be done by driving as they do not take foot passengers. A DFDS ferry to Holland from Newcastle sails daily. From its port in IJmuiden, Amsterdam you can reach Bruges is less than 3 hours by car.

By cruise ship

Virtually all dock at the major harbour of Zeebrugge.In addition to ship's tours, most offer shuttles to Blankenberge, a nearby town offering economical, hourly train service to Bruges just 20 minutes or so away.

How to get around in Bruegge

The historical centre is not so big and thus quite walkable (be sure to wear comfortable shoes). The only mode of public transport inside the city is bus. They are operated by the Flemish public transport company De Lijn. They frequent nearly all major points of interest plus the train station. Taxis on the market place and station cost about €10. Bicycles are easy to rent and make getting around the town very speedy, although the cobblestoned paths can make rides a little bumpy and uncomfortable.

What to see in Bruegge

Brugge - Begijnhof 22A - Monasterium - 82312 - Beguinage

Bruges has been known as a "dead city" for many years. The sanding of the harbour and the difficulties to dig canals in the sand caused heavy economical burdens on the city between the Middle Ages and the 20th century. The population managed to survive but did not grow as there was no new industrial activity during that period.

As a result, once over the encircling canal and inside the city walls, Bruges closes in around you with street after street of charming historic houses and a canal always nearby. The newly cleaned houses and the small canals should however not confuse you; they are truly centuries old. And if you can get away from the Chocolates shops, you can visit some more quiet areas such as St. Anna and imagine what life in the late Middle Ages must have been like. The historic center of Bruges and its belfry are s.

The Brugge City Card provides free admission to most of the major attractions and can be picked up at any of the hostels around town or at the information office on the Markt. The reduced rate cannot be used in conjunction with a student rate (both student and city card rates are identical) and hence is most useful for older travellers.

Several Youth Hostels and probably the train station and tourist information offer a useful map with some very interesting, 'non-tourist' places to see during the day and some unique places to visit at night. It provides a good way of getting an authentic feel for the town whilst avoiding the tourist hotspots and allows you to find some hidden gems.

  • Onze Lieve Vrouwkerk Mariastraat GPS 51.204662, 3.224448 Church of Our Lady, Bruges - A fascinating church with architecture from the Romanesque and Gothic periods. In the east side of the church are very fine tombs of Charles the Bold and his daughter Mary of Burgundy - in contrasting Gothic and Renaissance styles, despite their superficial similarity.

  • Occupied Jerusalem church GPS 51.212336, 3.233679 In a quiet area of the city, a highly unusual church with octagonal tower built by the Adornes brothers, merchants of Italian extraction. It includes a fine black Tournai marble tomb, late Gothic stained glass and a tiny and rather spooky chapel containing an effigy of the dead Christ. The entrance fee also covers the Lace Museum in the former Adornes mansion, where you can see local women and girls learning this traditional craft.
  • The Beguinage (Begijnhof) | GPS 51.201268, 3.222765 - Ten Wijngaerde (Begijnhof Brugge) In the history, many women couldn't find a man, as men were more likely to die in accidents or in a war. Those women could "marry God" and become a beguine. The beguinage, commonly called the convent, offered protection for those single ladies. It lies between the centre of the city and the station, with white painted small houses and fine plane trees, is a quiet place to walk - groups are discouraged.
  • The Hospital of Street John | Mariastraat 38 51.203972, 3.224013 - Opening Hours: Tuesday - Sunday 09:30-17:00 €8 Old St. John's Hospital Sint-Janshospitaal contains a museum of six paintings by Hans Memling, within the early medieval hospital buildings.

Its low-cost tasty exhibits make it well worth the time (and Belcolade's gently overt marketing). Be sure to stay for the Chocolates making exhibition to get some excellent samplers.

Bruges is visited by a huge number of tourists and it sometimes becomes quite annoying, especially around the Markt and Burg squares. The important thing to remember, however, is that very few tourists venture far away from the main shopping area, so if you want some peace and quiet you should simply explore the many small cobbled streets away from the main squares.

  • Lucifernum - retsin's lucifernum | Twijnstraat 6-8 GPS 51.2099, 3.2282 downtown - Opening Hours: Sunday 18:00-21:00 €6 An amazing (private) art gallery with a Gothic cemetery in a subtropical garden located in the old Freemasons temple (1756-1882). 1,000m² of art and mystery in Bruges' old downtown.

City gates

  • Kruispoort - Cross Gate | Langestraat - Part of the second city ramparts of 1297. The current gate dates back to the beginning of the 15th century.

  • Gentpoort - Ghent Gate | Gentpoortstraat 51.203009, 3.234613 - One of the four remaining city gates of the second city ramparts of 1297. In the gate building is housed a museum.

Top Muslim Travel Tips for Bruegge

Bruges Market Plaza and Belfry - Belfort (Belfry of Bruges)

  • Grote Markt and Belfry Climb - Grote Markt the big square - Opening Hours: Tuesday - Sunday 09:30-17:00 €8 with Bruges card / €10 Climb the 366 steps to the top of the 83m high tower. Excellent views of the city, Grote Markt and hear the bells ring up close.
  • Tour boats | €7.60 plus almost obligatory tip to the driver/guide It's crucial to take a ride on one of the tour boats around the canals - the multilingual guides provide a potted history of the city in just a few minutes - at only a few euros, it's the best introduction to Bruges. A boat tour will show you places which are otherwise unreachable, as not every canal runs next to a street. Advisable to get there at opening time to avoid the crowds.

  • Cycle Burg Plaza €8 for 4 hours at most places, €12 for the day There are many rental shops near the main square, shop around for the best prices. You can also rent right at the train station and get to the downtown quickly; remember to return them by 19:30. Cycle 5km to Damme, a picturesque village on the river with a windmill and excellent pancakes and optionally follow on to the coast (another 15km).
  • Running | If you are a runner, try running the 7-km circle around the old centre. Walk along the canal and see all of the medieval gates that used to control the traffic in and out of Bruges. Simply stunning!
  • Bruges Ballooning - Markt GPS 51.2, 3.2 ☎ +32 47 597 2887 Opening Hours: am & pm €170 Daily hot air balloon flights over the historic centre and its surroundings. The best way to enjoy the romance of Bruges and its stunning views, from a few hundred metres up in a balloon basket.
  • Watch football ie soccer. The city has two teams playing in First Division A and the top tier of Belgian football, Club Brugge KV and newly promoted KSV Cercle Brugge. They share the Jan Breydel stadium, capacity 29,000, in Sint-Andries neighborhood 2 kilometers west of the centre.

Shopping in Bruegge

81 Grand-Place - View of the Grote Markt from top of Belfort

Chocolate shops are plentiful and the standard is always high. A fairly affordable option is Stef's on Breidelstraat (between Markt and Burg). If you are willing to spend a little more, Chocolatier Van Oost on Wollestraat is a must for high-quality artisanal Chocolates. Word on the street is, that you can get anything covered in Chocolates and moulded. There is a particular vast number of Chocolates shops at the Kathelijnestraat.

For those who do not wish to buy Chocolates in the Chocolates shops and the local supermarkets also sell a good variety of mass-produced Chocolates at fairly fair prices. For the frugal, you can buy 100-200 g gourmet bars of Chocolates for about €1 each. Good brands to buy are Côte-d'Or and Jacques, both are Belgian. There are plenty of arts and crafts shops too, with some excellent local artists. The lacework is risky: if everything sold was produced locally and the entire town would be working in the lace industry! There is a school for lace though, where you can still get "the real thing".

Most European tourists come for the weekend, so shops are open Tuesday through Sunday, but many shops and museums are closed on Mondays. Be sure to plan ahead.

Wireless internet in the rooms needs an Orange subscription but thit is modestly priced compared to many hotels. However, some rooms did not seem to have good Wi-Fi reception.

Travel Next from Bruegge

The most popular day trips from Bruges:

  • Damme is a little city near Bruges. A seasonal riverboat goes there on a cruise of 35 minutes each way. It's a very scenic trip and the landscapes are picturesque and the village of Damme even more so. You can also go there by bike (special route). Local bus service to Damme is very limited and a trip from the Bruges train station takes 24 minutes.
  • Ypres (Ieper) is an important site of Great War battles, cemeteries, monuments and traditions such as the Last Post (every evening). Very popular among old veterans and young boys interested in wars. Sadly the public-transport connection between Ypres and Bruges isn't great, a train ride takes 1:30h and a combination of train and bus still takes at least 1h. So trips to Ypres are only advisable when you have a vehicle available.
  • Ostend (Oostende) is the monumental beach resort, called queen of the coastal city's resort. King Leopold II (1865-1909) built before his attention turned to inner-city Brussels to build his new capital. The quintcrucial cosmopolitan 19th century beach resort, full of endearing villas that have been classified as official monuments. Less than 15 minutes by train. Close by, about 10min by tram towards Raversijde, you can find the Atlantic Wall, two kilometers of trenches and galleries dating from both World Wars.
  • De Haan is a beach resort with many fanciful buildings in the belle époque style. Residential streets are lined by many quaint houses. De Haan is an easy side-trip from Bruges by train to Ostend and then by the coastal tram (Kusttram) to the station De Haan aan Zee.
  • Ghent, Brussels and Antwerp are great tourist destinations in their own right and extremely simple to reach by train (30 minutes to Ghent, 1h to Brussels and Antwerp).
