Which one to choose in Bruges
Two churches in Bruges. Church of Our Lady, Bruges has no online ticket listed; St. Salvator’s Cathedral has no online ticket listed. The table and the two notes below put them side by side; the full pages have what to see, the ticket and the timing for each.
Bruges, Belgium
Entry to the nave of the Church of Our Lady is free, and the chancel with the tombs and the museum collection is ticketed. Buy the ticket; the free part gets you a view of the Michelangelo from a distance behind glass, while the paid part gets you the ducal tombs, the excavated painted graves and the Gruuthuse oratory. The Bruges museum pass covers it along with the Groeninge gallery next door and the town hall, and pays for itself quickly.
Bruges, Belgium
Saint Salvator's Cathedral stands on a square in the centre of Bruges, Belgium, a short walk from the Market Square and the Church of Our Lady, and entry to the cathedral is free, while the treasury museum has a small fee. It is the oldest parish church in Bruges and became a cathedral in the nineteenth century, after the original cathedral of Saint Donatian was destroyed during the French Revolution.
