Paris to Bruges by Bus?
 
I'm trying to navigate Eurolines website for the bus schedules and fares in English, but for some reason I can't switch it from French.

Does anybody know the fares and how long it takes to take the bus from Paris to Bruges?

Thank you so much!

There is no Eurolines bus to Bruges - you will need to get one to Brussels Midi, then get the train, or Gent and get the bus or train.
It takes about 3.5 hours to Brussels.

To Ghent it's 4h10 -- 21€ for adults and 18€ if you are under 25.

Are you thinking of taking the bus to keep the costs down? You may be able to get a PREM fare on Thalys for not much more (and a lot faster). I booked us 60 days out (as soon as the cheapo fares were available) and got a fare of 33 euros each at the end of March. Train leaves Gare du Nord and there are about four stops, but you don't have to change trains, total of about two hours.

Yes, I'm trying to keep the costs down for my father. Is it worth it? He plans to go in mid-June so not sure how the PREM fare will be. I'll check it out.

Thank you.

Go to tgv-europe.com and see if there are any discount fares still available.
