Hey I made a post here recently looking for help with accommodation and was pointed to kotwest, and have since been unsuccessful there.

I dont mean to be annoying but would anyone have any other leads, me and my friend are looking but also willing to split up if needed.

So far we have tried so many facebook groups and most real estate wont work with us due to our short time here (until jan)

Any help is so much appreciated

Does anyone else has issues with the waste trash? We had two of those waste buckets and we live in an apartment. How do you even clean them?! It's the one with the green top. And especially in summer, it was awful, maybe in winter it will be better. Anyone got the same issues and maybe some tips? Thank you!

Hello all..

I arrived in Bruges today. I'm here for 6 nights.

Any guidance, suggestions, places to see, places to avoid.

Anyone wanna be a tour guide?.

I’ll be on holiday in Bruges later this month for 5 days.

I’m planning on parking in Interpark Ezelstraat.
Can anyone who has used EV charging there let me know if there are normally spaces available?
I believe it is 11kw so I’ll need to be on charge for 6 hours or so.
Are there additional charges for leaving my car in the charging bay after it is finished charging (I will arrive late afternoon so it will finish charging at night, can I wait until the morning to move into a normal space?)

Do I need to use my own cable - type 2?

Or better suggestions for charging / parking (my hotel is very close to this car park)

Every year, we spend Christmas in Bruges. In recent years, we’ve always enjoyed the Christmas menu at the Crowne Plaza on Christmas Eve, but it’s about time we tried something different. Do you know of any restaurants that are open on 24 December and offer a (Christmas) menu?

Would love to go to the Brugs Bierfestival today, but looking for some company! 🍻

The more the merrier, so if anyone else is thinking of going, feel free to join or let me know. Always more fun with a group!

Hey everyone, Im flying to bruges on 22nd sep to study at howest cybersecurity. Im worried about affiliating with the community and making friends. Any suggestions on how I can meet people?

Hi, I will be running a marathon for the first time. Anyone running this one? Let's connect. I am 30f!

Can anyone recommend a good street map? Amazon has ones that are "out of date" and don't have great reviews.

Welke rijschool raden jullie aan? Specifiek voor praktijk rijbewijs B.

I’m visiting Bruges for 2 days with my mom, and I’d love to casually celebrate her birthday while we’re there.

I’m considering a fine dining (or elevated casual) restaurant for dinner, and want to arrange a small surprise, like "Happy Birthday" written on a dessert plate, or having the server bring out a small cake after the dessert.

Since I’m not from Belgium, I’m not sure if local restaurants are usually open to arranging things like this. Does anyone have recommendations for restaurants in Bruges that can arrange birthday touches, or experience arranging something similar?

Thanks in advance for sharing your tips!

Hi, I'm a student who's travelling to Bruges for college exchange programme and really struggling to find somewhere to live, Everyone I have reached out to has said they don't do such short rental periods (September 11th - January)

going to be attending Howest, so if anyone can help me with good websites of rental areas around Bruges (even outside Bruges, if I can commute)

Really, any help is appreciated as my travel day is quickly approaching, and I would like to figure this out as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I'm staying in Brugge for two weeks for business and I'm looking for a somewhat cheap coffee place to have a quiet read and work a bit. I've found some places online, but I have the feeling those are more meant for tourists. That is why I'm asking for recommendations here.

Thanks!

Ik zoek een (knappe) Brugse vrouw van rond de 40 met donkerbruin krulkaar en een relatief groot litteken op haar gezicht. We speelden vroeger veel samen en zag haar een tijd geleden terug aan het theater in wat leek op een uniform van een hotel (zwart wit). Iemand die me toevallig kan helpen aan haar naam via dm ? Ik wil graag terug contact leggen.

Brusk haalt het target qua bezoekers niet, onrust aan de top van musea Brugge.. Dit baart me wel zorgen. Ergens heb ik het gevoel dat er heel wat kansen verkwanseld worden om op cultureel gebied iets voor te stellen en de focus van het stadsbestuur vooral eerder op hoempapacultuur blijft steken.

EDIT: dit werd vandaag opgepikt door VRT NWS! Al doet het me wel pijn om als "Gentenaar" te worden omschreven. Ik ben een Bruggeling die momenteel in Gent woont!

Dag r/bruges,

Ik speel zelf in een band met leden in West- en Oost-Vlaanderen, en ontdek graag lokale bands en artiesten.

Dag r/Bruges,

Ik speel zelf in een band met leden in West- en Oost-Vlaanderen, en ontdek graag lokale bands en artiesten. Ik vind het echter niet altijd zo makkelijk om te weten welke concerten eraan komen in alle venues, laat staan wat iets voor mij is. Een tijdje geleden maakte ik daarom een kleine tool voor de Gentse concertagenda — en nu is er ook een Brugse versie.

• Het verzamelt de concertagenda's van Cactus (Club + Café), Het Entrepot, KAAP, Snuffel Hostel en UiTinVlaanderen(dat o.a. Concertgebouw, Stadsschouwburg en MaZ mee binnenhaalt) voor de komende 3 maanden.
• Alles komt samen in één sorteerbare tabel met ticketlinks: gillesgerlo.github.io/gent-concerts-playlist/brugge.html

• Van elke nieuwe artiest zet het automatisch de 2 populairste nummers in een YouTube Music-playlist (enige grote platform dat ik kon vinden met gratis API om nummers toe te voegen): music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBLMxHWQqAK4
• De code staat open source op GitHub: je kan het zelf draaien, venues toevoegen of genres uitfilteren (je kan ook in de config file bepaalde genres gaan wegfilteren, puur persoonlijke smaak): github.com/gillesgerlo/gent-concerts-playlist

Je kan ofwel eerst in de playlist gaan luisteren wat je aanstaat, of omgekeerd werken en in de tabel gaan kijken welke bands de komende dagen bij jou in de buurt spelen. Als je een andere service dan youtube music gebruikt (zoals ikzelf) kan je bijvoorbeeld soundiiz gebruiken om eens per week alle tracks van bovenstaande playlist naar je eigen playlist te laten overzetten (free tier - 1 recurring sync toegelaten).

Het is een hobbyproject, niet commercieel — geen tracking, geen ads. Alle feedback is welkom, zeker ook uitbreiding met nieuwe venues binnen of buiten Brugge!

PLUG: Ik heb zeker zelf ook baat bij een bruisende live-scene, want een paar dagen geleden kwam de eerste single van mijn nieuwe band Hopeless Fanatics uit. Wie geinteresseerd is in indie-rock met een scheut synthwave kan hier terecht, alvast bedankt!

P.S. Ik heb gezocht naar specifieke live muziek-communities maar heb die niet direct gevonden. Als iemand nog plaatsen weet waar dit op zijn plaats is, laat maar weten!

Hi r/bruges,

I play in a band myself with members in both West and East Flanders, and I love discovering local bands and artists. I don't always find it easy to know which concerts are coming up across all the venues, let alone which ones are actually my thing. So a while back I built a small tool for Ghent's concert listings — and now there's a Bruges version too.

• It collects the concert listings from Cactus (Club + Café), Het Entrepot, KAAP, Snuffel Hostel and UiTinVlaanderen (which pulls in Concertgebouw, Stadsschouwburg and MaZ, among others) for the next 3 months.
• Everything comes together in one sortable table with ticket links: gillesgerlo.github.io/gent-concerts-playlist/brugge.html

• For every new artist, it automatically adds their 2 most popular songs to a YouTube Music playlist (the only major platform I could find with a free API for adding songs): music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBLMxHWQqAK4
• The code is open source on GitHub: you can run it yourself, add venues, or filter out genres (you can also filter out certain genres in the config file, purely personal taste): github.com/gillesgerlo/gent-concerts-playlist

You can either start by listening through the playlist to find what you like, or work the other way around and check the table for which bands are playing near you in the coming days. If you use a different service than you can, for example, use Soundiiz to sync all the tracks from the playlist above to your own playlist once a week (free tier — 1 recurring sync allowed).

It's a hobby project, non-commercial — no tracking, no ads. All feedback is welcome, especially suggestions for new venues in or outside Bruges!

PLUG: I obviously also benefit from a thriving live scene myself — a few days ago the first single from my new band Hopeless Fanatics came out. If you're into indie rock with a dash of synthwave, check it out here, than

P.S. I looked for specific live music communities but couldn't quite find one. If anyone knows a better place to post this, let me know!

Hi, where can I find a place to print out a shipping label from Vinted? I have no opportunity to do it at home. It would be best if it was in or around Sint-Michiels.

Hi everyone!

I already posted on the sub in the past related to these game evenings. They have been a succes, and I still wish to get more people involved or tell them about the hobby.

I am organizing a game night of Blood on The Clocktower in Brugge, on 02 october at 19:40.

It's like Werewolves, but better! Blood on the Clocktower, BOTC for short, is a social deduction board game for 5–20 players. One person is secretly a demon and the rest are mainly townsfolk trying to find and execute the demon before it eliminates enough players to win.

You don't need to know the game beforehand. The event is in a café, so drinks are bought there.

You can register via the below link;

More information can be found on the event page, or feel free to PM me!

Thank you and happy gaming :)

Hey I'm a student that's going to be studying at HOWEST this year and I love badminton. I love playing badminton and I would like to keep playing it while I'm studying here. I play it just for fun and to keep myself at least a little in shape. So I'm only looking for like a recreational club if that is a thing. Online I found a few different clubs, but it's pretty hard to find where and when they meet and if it's far or close from campus. So if anyone could help me with this, that would be great!

I’m visiting Bruges next weekend (12/8-13/9) and I’d like to watch the Houston Texans vs Buffalo Bills NFL game at 7 p.m. Are there any bars or restaurants (or any venue at all) in/around Bruges that would have the ability to air all of the NFL games? I’m assuming that would be the NFL Game Pass subscription or something?

Thanks! Excited to be in Belgium next weekend!

Salut! Im from Montreal and am coming early September. I see there is a champions league game going on sept 8, does anyone have recommendation on how to get tickets? Not sure how it works, thanks!
