Autumn can be one of the best times of the year to take a holiday. Bruges hotels, normally packed to the rafters in summer, can be found for a song and both Bruges and Brussels have cheap hotels aplenty.
If you book a stay in Brussels hotels, you will be in the midst of the extensive cultural and historical attractions for which the city is famous. It has cafes, restaurants, shops, over 100 galleries and museums, and a number of colourful festivals on offer.
Arrive in September for the annual Beer Weekend to sample one of Belgium's most successful exports. Alternatively, head out to the university town of Louvain-la-Neuve and try your hand at the "24 Hours of Cycling", in October if you want to show off your skills on two wheels.
With the turning of the seasons, the countryside takes on a burnished, autumnal hue making the one-hour train journey between the cities of Bruges and Brussels become even more picture-perfect. Train travel in Belgium is very convenient and because of the vast number of cheap hotels in both cities, there's no need to choose between them even on a short break.
Bruges hotels along the canals are a firm favourite for romantic getaways and offer the perfect accommodation for either a weekend break or a longer stay. Meander along the canals on a cruise boat and soak up the picturesque scenery of the city.
Indulge your sweet tooth in the most delicious way by visiting the Bruges Choc-Late Festival. The festival is one huge chocolate convention, held over two days in the Belfort bell tower in the heart of the city. It has sculptures, children's activities and even chocolate body painting.
For something a little more highbrow for music-lovers, September in Bruges sees the arrival of "Jazz Brugge". For three days, Europe's greatest jazz musicians come together to celebrate their genre in a wonderful collision of creativity and innovation.
