  • Off to Bruges for the weekend, not been on a city break since the before times.
    Is cash required or is the whole world contactless these days?

    Feels like a silly question, but I don't want to be caught out with only a few euros in my pocket and needing hundreds.

  • Off to Bruges for the weekend

    If you're only in the city itself then contactless Visa/MasterCard is fine.

    If you're venturing even a few miles out, make sure you have cash as outside of the main cities no one takes visa/MasterCard, it's all Bancontact only. Even in relatively large towns. (A few merchants seemed a bit disgruntled by this, but something to do with fees etc).

    If you're unsure, take cash.

  • Cheers, chances are I am going to be in the main hub of Bruges, touristing.
    Got enough euros to cover dinners and coffees if needed.

    Appreciate the info!
