Tour of Flanders

April 6th, 2025

Bruges also happened to be the starting point for the Tour of Flanders while we were there—one of the five legendary races in the world of professional cycling, stretching a brutal 200 kilometers!

It felt like a massive cycling street party, with crowds roaring for every rider speeding past.

But honestly? Even if I couldn’t catch a clear view of the race, the electric atmosphere, the deafening cheers, and that collective adrenaline rush made it totally worth it.

Rabat turned out to…
