One day in Bruges with kids: its core route needs no booking, stays within ten minutes' walk and stops about every hour. ### We have two days. Which plans go together? The two-day family plan is written as a weekend, with a night in the suite in between. For any other group, two single-day plans work back to back. ### Do we have to follow the times? No. Times are examples. Only booked slots are fixed, and each plan marks them. ### Can we do a plan without staying with you? Yes. The routes start at our door, but every stop is public, so you can join a route at its first stop. ## Structured data ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "ItemList", "inLanguage": "en", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "One day in Bruges with kids, at their pace", "url": "https://www.chocolatesuites.be/en/guide/bruges-with-kids" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "A chocolate day in Bruges with kids, made rather than bought", "url": "https://www.chocolatesuites.be/en/guide/bruges-kids-chocolate-day" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Bruges with friends, organised once", "url": "https://www.chocolatesuites.be/en/guide/bruges-with-friends" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "A romantic day in Bruges, at your pace", "url": "https://www.chocolatesuites.be/en/guide/romantic-day-in-bruges" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 5, "name": "Two days in Bruges with kids, with a night in the suite", "url": "https://www.chocolatesuites.be/en/family-suites-bruges" } ] }, { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://www.chocolatesuites.be/en" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Guide", "item": "https://www.chocolatesuites.be/en/guide" } ] } ] ```
