Exploring Bruges: New Pricing and Expanded Access for the Musea Brugge Card
Traveling through the historic streets of Bruges is about to get even richer. Starting in spring 2026, the comprehensive municipal museum pass is expanding its roster of sights while adjusting its price point. For culture seekers heading to historic landmarks like the O.L.V.-kerk Museum, these changes offer a new way to map out a multi-day itinerary.
BRUSK Joins the Local Cultural Pass
A major addition to the city's cultural scene is the BRUSK art exhibition space, which officially opens its doors on May 8. To celebrate this milestone, the local authorities are integrating this contemporary art venue into the standard city museum pass.
Cardholders can now seamlessly transition from historic masterworks—such as the Michelangelo sculpture, painted tombs, and royal graves housed inside the O.L.V.-kerk Museum—to the fresh artistic perspectives of the modern gallery. Because of this major new venue addition, the multi-site ticket is seeing its first price adjustment.
New Rates for the Musea Brugge Card
The pass remains valid for 72 hours, activating only at the exact moment you scan it at your first chosen destination. This gives you ample time to stroll between the various venues of Musea Brugge without feeling rushed.
The updated pricing tiers for the Musea Brugge Card are:
- Standard admission: €49
- Youth (under 26 years old): €37
- Children and teens (under 18 years old): €25
Because the card is valid for a full year after the purchase date before its first use, visitors can buy their passes well in advance of their actual travel dates.
Practical Tips for Visiting Local Historic Sites
When planning your cultural route, keep in mind that many popular heritage spots benefit from advanced planning. While the card offers exceptional flexibility, certain high-traffic towers and galleries require or highly recommend booking a specific entry time slot beforehand to guarantee entry. This ensures a smooth, crowd-free experience as you explore the rich medieval heritage of the city.
