What the Musea Brugge Card includes
The Musea Brugge Card is the city's museum pass. With one card, you can visit all 11 Musea Brugge sites within 72 hours, each free of charge once. Simply show your voucher at the entrance, scan it and walk straight in - no need to queue for a separate ticket. The card is a museum pass only and does not cover public transport.
The main highlights
The Groeninge Museum covers six centuries of Belgian painting, with works by Jan van Eyck, Hans Memling and Hieronymus Bosch. Right on the Markt stands the Belfry, the medieval bell tower with 366 steps to the top and a carillon of 47 bells.
The Church of Our Lady houses Michelangelo's marble Madonna and Child - the only work he saw leave Italy during his lifetime - alongside the tombs of Mary of Burgundy and Charles the Bold. At Sint-Jans Hospital, one of the oldest hospitals in Europe, six paintings by Hans Memling hang alongside the Shrine of St. Ursula.

Is it worth it?
After just three or four museums the card pays for itself. Most sites are within easy walking distance of each other in the historic centre, so you can comfortably fit several into a single day. Children under 12 have free entry to all Musea Brugge sites anyway and do not need their own card.
Each site can be visited once free of charge. Opening hours and seasonal availability vary - check directly with the museum before your visit.
