Cheap hotels in Minnewater & Astrid Park

EuroCheapo's Guide to Cheap Hotels in Bruges

Neighborhood Description

This large section of town, located to the south and east of Markt and Burg, is quite residential and relaxed, yet conveniently located near the city center. Both Minnewater and Astrid parks provide space for recreation and relaxation, while Minnewater Park boasts canal-side views replete with swans.

The nearby Begijnhof, a serene grouping of tiny residences around a church and field of flowers, was founded in 1245 and is today home to the Sisters of the St Benedict Order. The Begijnhof's laid-back atmosphere is perfect for relaxing after a day scouting the city's museums and churches. The "Picnic Triangle," just south of Astrid Park, is full of bakeries and vegetable markets, making it the ideal stop before a leisurely day at either Minnewater or Astrid Park. Bruges’ train station is located at “Stationsplein,” at the south-western tip of the city’s ring.
