Brugge Canal Tour: Glide Through History

Brugge Canal Tour: Glide Through History (and Maybe Scream Like a Tourist) Ready for a day in Brugge that feels like you've stepped straight into a fairy tale? The Brugge Canal Tour is your golden ticket to see this medieval wonderland from the best seat in the house—on the water.

Keep an eye out for the local swans who might be plotting their revenge for the tourists who dare take their perfect water shots.

France Brings Back Border Checks

France Brings Back Border Checks: UK Tourists, Buckle Up for Queue Season! Starting November 1, France is bringing back its border checks with six neighboring Schengen countries—think of it as a six-month reunion tour for the borders with Luxembourg, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, and Italy. The good news? Not every traveller will get the full border experience. The slightly-less-good news? UK tourists heading to France are still in for a potential lineup. All this is part of a French plan to tackle security concerns, and yes, it’s sparking some “Schengen Surprise” moments across Europe.

And if you’re flying in? Well, don’t celebrate just yet. Airport security lines might get an upgrade from “long” to “eternally memorable.” The Official Reason for France Brings Bac…
