Each week MSC Cruises will be highlighting a new must-see destination with a tempting £100 on-board credit for those booking specific cruises featuring the Pick of the Week.
The beautiful and historic West Flanders capital of Bruges kicks off the promotion, and from tomorrow (Monday 17 October) until Sunday customers booking on the selected cruises in a balcony cabin and above (including MSC Yacht Club) will receive the £100 credit to spend on their their trip.
Top five hidden gems for Bruges
- Princely Beguinage Ten Wijngaerde: For a peaceful haven suspended in time, visit a 14th-century collection of white houses used by Beguines: pious women who weren’t interested in marriage or taking the vows of nuns. The beautiful garden creates an oasis all year round.
- Minnewater Bridge: Those travelling with their significant other should take a stroll across the Lake of Love. Legend has it that walking across this bridge will lead to eternal love or at the very least, you will fall in love with the beautiful surrounding views.
- Beers Yesterday’s World: Experience two of Bruges’ specialities, beers and antiques, in a charming bar set inside an antiques shop.
- Concertgebouw: Take a tour of the concert hall for not only some impressive architecture and art but for arguably the best views of the city.
- Chocostory: While there are over a dozen museums, satisfy a craving for both culture and chocolate with a visit to this fun collection of exhibits that takes visitors through the history of chocolate. Children of all ages will enjoy the attraction especially the very generous amount of samples to enjoy.
