A European road trip

Amsterdam to Bruges
If you’re looking to see Europe by car then you can’t go far wrong with a trip that takes you through the Netherlands and Belgium.

Starting your trip in the Dutch capital, the journey to Bruges takes between three and four hours depending on which route you decide to take. We’d recommend travelling through the culturally rich towns of Utrecht, Breda and Ghent.

Bruges is a classic Belgian city, famous for its breweries, canals, cobbled streets and medieval architecture. Not to be missed in Bruges is the Markt, a sprawling main square dating back to 1240 that is overlooked by Bruges’ iconic Belfry.
