How to avoid the worst of it today

Ride out to the windmills and back along the ramparts. The Sint-Anna loop — lace center, folklore lanes, four windmills on the green wall — is calm-day Bruges at its most complete.
Give the Flemish Primitives their hour. The Groeninge's van Eycks and Memling's shrine, unhurried — jewel-box painting in a jewel-box town.

Where the crowds are

The Markt–Burg–Rozenhoedkaai triangle: The postcard circuit; nearly every visitor walks it within an hour of arriving.
The canal-boat jetties: Midday queues in season outlast the ride.

Quiet places in Bruges

The Beguinage: White gables, poplars and enforced hush.
Sint-Anna & the windmill ramparts: The town's unvisited half, ten minutes east.
