just remember by spookie

since it’s a Flemish city, it’s “Brugge”, not “Bruges” ;)

So pretty! by daydreamer

Visited Bruges on a day trip from Brussels – very easy to get there by train. It was a sunny but chilly March day, so we took a boat trip on the canals. Yes, it’s touristy, but it’s a must do! Perhaps because it wasn’t peak season we only passed one other sightseeing boat. At one point we all had to duck down when we passed under a low bridge to avoid the long icicles hanging underneath it! An Indiana Jones moment – almost :)

Warmed up inside a restaurant with a steaming pot of moules plus frites. Perfect!

From its 13th-century origins as a cloth-manufacturing town to its current incarnation as a tourism mecca, Bruges seems to have changed little. As in a fairy tale, swans glide down the winding canals and the stone houses look like they're made of gingerbread. Even though glass-fronted stores have taken over the ground floors of ancient buildings, and the swans scatter before tour boats chugging along the canals, Bruges has made the transition from medieval to modern with remarkable grace. The town seems revitalized rather than crushed by the tremendous influx of tourists. (read article)
