If it’s your first visit, staying near the central areas of Brussels or Bruges is a good option because most major attractions, restaurants, and transport links are close by. I found that choosing accommodation near the old town made it easier to explore without rushing.
During my trip, I also planned my sightseeing in advance and happened to use Tiqets Voucher Coupons while booking a few attractions. It helped me organize my schedule better, so I could pick a hotel location based on the places I wanted to visit. Staying central and planning ahead really made the trip more comfortable.
