Eco-friendly travel
- Tap water is safe to drink. Bring a refillable bottle.
- Take the train: SNCB/NMBS links all cities, often in less than an hour.
- Rent a bike in Flanders: flat and full of cycle paths.
- Sort your waste: PMD (blue bag), paper, glass, rest.
- Visit Bruges early or off-season: very crowded in summer.
- Buy from local chocolatiers and markets.
