Bruges in a day
Bruges is best discovered along its canals, between the belfry towering over the Markt, the gabled façades of the Rozenhoedkaai and the hush of the Beguinage. Your Atemia driver takes you there from Brussels or your hotel, then remains at your disposal while the medieval city reveals itself, with no timetable to keep to.
There is no train to catch and no parking space to hunt for on the edge of the historic centre: you stroll along the canals, take a boat trip, linger at a chocolatier's, and your car waits for you at the agreed spot. The pace of the day is entirely yours.
In the late afternoon, a detour to Damme rounds off the day nicely: a few kilometres along the Damse Vaart, a dead-straight canal lined with poplars, bring you to this polder village and its Gothic town hall. A peaceful finale before heading back to Brussels, comfortably settled in the back seat.

Planning your day trip
Can we change the itinerary, for example by skipping Damme?+
Absolutely. The day is yours to shape: you can spend it all in Bruges, swap Damme for a stop at Loppem Castle or bring your return forward. Let us know your preferences when you book — online, by phone or on WhatsApp — and we will give you the corresponding fixed price on confirmation.
How many passengers can the day trip accommodate?+
Our Economic, Business and Prestige sedans take up to three passengers with light luggage. For a family or a group of friends, the Van and Van Business classes seat up to seven people in the same comfort. Simply tell us the number of travellers when booking so that we can assign the most suitable vehicle.
Does the driver show us around Bruges?+
Your driver is not a certified tour guide and does not lead visits inside the sites. They do, however, know the city well: they drop you as close as possible to the sights, recommend a viewpoint or a good place to eat, and can be reached at any time while you explore at your leisure.
