Geographical influences

Bruges is located on the northern coast of Belgium and has cold weather for most of the year. It borders the English Channel but sea breezes are chilly and often bring temperatures down when they blow through the town. If you don’t mind the cooler weather, February is a great time to visit. The region is quiet at this time of year and February is the driest month in winter. This means you won’t have to worry too much about rainfall, but it’s still advised to include an umbrella in your bag in case it rains.
