Quick ride by bicycle from Bruges to Sint-Kruis

This easygoing 3.2 km ride takes you from the heart of Bruges—one of Belgium’s most enchanting medieval cities—out to the pleasant suburb of Sint-Kruis. Starting in Bruges, you’ll pass picturesque canals and charming cobbled streets (watch out for those bumpy patches!), gradually swapping the city buzz for quieter residential lanes.

Most of your route is on paved or asphalt surface, with about a third including gravel and a touch of cobblestone to give you that authentic Belgian cycling vibe. The gentle terrain means you only climb a few meters, and there’s a nice gentle descent toward Sint-Kruis. Since over half of the ride is along quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, it’s a stress-free option for any rider.

Sint-Kruis is a laid-back area just east of Bruges, great for a relaxing finish. Take your time, soak up the scenery, and maybe reward yourself with a local pastry or coffee when you arrive!
