Fietsen Popelier
A recommended bike rental outfit. Children's bikes (same prices as adults') are available, and baby/toddler seats and baskets are provided for free. Helmets can also be hired. No deposits are required for bikes. The cycles here are in excellent condition - never more than six months old, with moulded seats, six gears and good suspension. Some regional cycling maps, including the Riante Polder Route, are sold.
Stay around town - there's no better way to see a sizable swath of the city in a relatively short time - or head out along the Damse Vaart canal to Damme (30 minutes, 6km one way). Alternatively, the Riante Polder Route is a full-day excursion, clocking up 44km and…

Canal Tour
Taking a Canal Tour is a must. Yep, it's touristy, but what isn't in Bruges? Viewing the city from the water gives it a totally different feel than by foot. Cruise down Spiegelrei towards Jan Van Eyckplein and it's possible to imagine Venetian merchants entering the city centuries ago and meeting under the slender turret of the Poortersloge building up ahead. Boats depart roughly every 20 minutes from jetties south of the Burg, including Rozenhoedkaai and Dijver, and tours last 30 minutes.
Expect queues in summer.

Horse-Drawn Carriage Rides
The clip-clop of hooves hitting cobblestones resounds constantly in the streets of Bruges. In summer, aim to jump on board between 18:00 and 19:00 - by this time day-trippers have left the city, locals are stirring dinner at home, and most tourists are taking a shower. Bruges' streets take on a semitranquil air at this time of day, and the gold-topped buildings shimmer in the late sun rays. Carriages depart from the Markt, and their route takes 35 minutes (including a pit stop at the Begijnhof).

Brouwerij De Halve Maan (Brewery)
This working brewery operated from 1856 until 2000 then was revived in 2005 by Xavier Vanneste, the sixth generation to brew here. Tours show you his family’s historical brewing techniques and tools, which sit alongside the high-tech equipment he uses today to make blonde and double-brown Brugse Zot. As a reward for climbing the ‘Half Moon’ brewery’s dozens of narrow steel steps, you get a fabulous view of Bruges’ skyline from the rooftop, and a tasting at the end.

Atelier de Recherche et d’Action Urbaine

Bookings can be made online through the Brussels tourist office.

Simenon Route Audio tour
The tourist office has an English-language brochure, the Simenon Route, which describes a walking tour around Outremeuse, where writer Georges Simenon spent his youth. One of the most tangible references to Simenon is the brass plaque marking his nearby birthplace at Rue Léopold 24. Alternatively, a French-language Simenon Route Audio tour entitled 'Sur les Traces de Simenon' starts at the Maison du Tourisme.

Antwerp is Burning
One of the best known dance parties is Antwerp is Burning. It takes over a huge field on the Linkeroever, converting the left bank of the river into a one-night party bash in early September. Half a dozen clubs band together, and more than 30 artists beat out hard dance, trance, techno, house and drum'n'bass until well into the next day.
