The most romantic and adventurous way to discover Bruges is undoubtedly by hot air balloon. Bruges Ballooning offers, in exclusive co-operation with the city of Bruges, balloon flights over the centre of Bruges. Daily departures at sunrise and 2 hours before sunset. A one-hour balloon trip takes you over the city of Bruges, and it's wonderful surrounding castles and fields. Champagne and hotel pick-up are included.

The Longest Hour

The door closes and you are locked. You and your friends have 1 hour to escape from a mysterious house by solving puzzles and mysteries. The Longest Hour in Ypres is the very first 'real life escape game' in Belgium! A unique and intense experience, for groups of 3 to 6 players. Your age is not important , teamwork is the key to finish the game!

Reviewed By EditCoro - Ghent, Belgium

This was our first escape room experience and we absolutely loved it! It was really great to work together with our kids (10, 13, 14) to get through all puzzles. We had to divide the work according to our abilities and work against the clock. There are 4 rooms in the house, full with different challenging and varied puzzles/challenges to solve, under the theme of WWI. You get some tips via a screen, gradually after some time if they see you are blocked in a room, to help you get to the last room. The challenges are very well thought & designed but some of them are quite difficult to solve.!!!...causing your adrenaline to dangerously rise... It is very fun to observe how we all react in a different way under this pressure. We managed to get out, but I think thanks to the comments we had gotten some from a friend who had been there before... otherwise I am not sure... But independantly of if you manage to get out or not, it is a great experience to have! I recommend it to everybody who likes puzzle solving & adrenaline levels to rise. It is a great activity to do with your family (if your kids like puzzle / challenge solving, and probably best +13, although our 10 year old solved quite some of the puzzles!). We where with 5 and we found that was the perfect number of people. With less we would have felt short of brains & hands, and with 6 we might have bumped too much into each other. We will now try other Escape Rooms in Belgium, but he have heard from friends that The Longest Hour was one of the best in the area.

Amazing Escape

Unique and highly recommended escape rooms in the center of Bruges. Try to find a way out in 60 minutes. 1. Upside Down. In this house designed by a bizarre architect, the laws of gravitation no longer prevail. A unique experience, but how will you get back in the normal world? 2. Mission Michelangelo. In 1944 German soldiers have stolen the ‘Madonna with child’ of Michelangelo from the Church of Our Lady in Bruges. Whether the famous statue will be found back, depends on your team!

Reviewed By Mr-Bye-bye

My wife and I played both the upside down and the Michelangelo rooms. The upside down was very unique, and the Michelangelo room was really fun due to the heavily themed room and historical element. We played with only two players. both of these rooms are far from easy, and I would recommend playing with about four players. There's a lot to do in these rooms, and we did not escape in time. The owner and our game master was fantastic. He actually let us go into a little bit of overtime and play through because there was no booking after us. The hint system is simple since the game master is watching and listening to the entire game. Hints are delivered in a way that matches the room theme. These rooms are a good example a fantastically designed, homegrown escape rooms. Can't say enough about these rooms. if you can only do one, I highly recommend the Michelangelo room because of the seeming and local historical element.

Belfort

The most important of Bruges' towers stands 83 metres tall. It houses, amongst other things, a carillon with 47 melodious bells. In the reception area, waiting visitors can discover all kinds of interesting information about the history and working of this unique world-heritage protected belfry. Those who take on the challenge of climbing the tower can pause for a breather on the way up in the old treasury, where the city's charters, seal and public funds were kept during the Middle Ages, and also at the level of the impressive clock or in the carillonneur's chamber. Finally, after a tiring 366 steps, your efforts will be rewarded with a breath-taking and unforgettable panoramic view of Bruges and her surroundings.

272feet (83m) 366 steps to the top, but well worth the effort,because the view is marvellous, There are a couple of landings on the way up with interesting items to see, while you catch your breath. At the top the carilllion chimed while we were there, Get there at opening time 09.30hrs because when we got down loads of people were queueing,

Bellewaerde

Bellewaerde - that's three trips in one day! Where can you go for a fun day out for the whole family? Bellewaerde, of course! Enjoy thrilling rides, marvel at exotic animals and relax in stunningly beautiful surroundings: Bellewaerde has it all!

Reviewed By hamoomoo19 - Whalton, United Kingdom

We first visited in 2015 and were so impressed with Bellewaerde that it became our favourite theme park we'd visited to date. A second trip today three years later and we still feel the same way. The park is immaculate, the gardens and scenery are beautiful and it is a joy to walk round. The selection of animals they have alongside the rides always look happy and well looked after. The rides themselves are a unique selection that are not always found easily, such as the vekoma mad house (Houdini house), jungle mission and Huracan. Every ride is such fun and it is clear they are developing the park all the time- since our last visit they have built a new boardwalk across the lake and added a bird of prey display, a new ride Dawson Duel and are also building a water park next door due to open spring 2019. The staff we encountered were always very helpful and friendly. The app for the park is great- hight reccomend a download on busy days! We used it all day to keep track of ride waiting times which are accurate and also to see what we had missed. Even on the public holiday that we visited (may 11th) which was busy it was still totally manageable and we never waited more than half an hour for rides. In UK you would wait up to three hours for rides on busy weekends. They actually reached full capacity on this day and stopped guests from coming in which I think is a great idea for guest safety and comfort (and it still didn't feel crazy busy). Overall- Bellewaerde is a unique, beautiful, underrated park ten minutes drive outside Ieper town centre and you should not miss out!!!! (king lion is the best mascot ever)
