New Rates and Venues for the Musea Brugge Card: What It Means for Your Visit to the Belfort
Bruges is updating its primary museum pass to offer travelers even more artistic variety. The regional museum card, which provides access to a wealth of historical sites across the city, is expanding its roster of locations to include the highly anticipated BRUSK art gallery starting from its opening on May 8.
With this new addition to the cultural network, the pricing structure for the pass is being adjusted. Visitors planning to explore the historic Belfry of Bruges (Belfort) and other municipal sites can use this updated card to streamline their journey.
Climbing the Belfort and Scheduling Your Visit
One of the absolute highlights of any trip to the city is climbing the medieval Belfort. Ascending the 366 steps to the top requires a reasonable level of physical fitness, but rewards climbers with unparalleled panoramic views. Because this monument is exceptionally popular, travelers are strongly advised to secure a specific entry slot in advance. Punctuality is essential, as missing your designated time means your booking will expire.
The Musea Brugge Card simplifies this process. Once purchased, the pass remains valid for a full year and is only activated when you enter your very first venue. From that initial scan, you have 72 hours to discover the participating municipal sites. To guarantee your spot at high-demand venues like the Belfry, you can reserve individual timeslots for each location online.
New Pass Pricing Structure
To reflect the inclusion of the new BRUSK gallery, the 72-hour pass rates have been updated:
- Standard Admission: € 49
- Youth (under 26): € 37
- Children & Teenagers (under 18): € 25
