The city of Bruges wants to limit the number of tourists in the city center. The number of participants in a tour is limited to 20 to 25 people, confirms ships of Tourism Minou Esquenet.
Large groups often cause nuisance, such as walking on the road instead of the sidewalk. The new regulation, the introduction of which is not yet clear, is further discussed with guides and the tourism sector. In addition, from 2027, Bruges introduces a cruise tax of 4 euros per cruise tourist to limit mass tourism.
