Pros: Lots of charm, character and class...and great beer Cons: Crowded during the day, canals are a little 'ripe'
I don't know whether I mentioned it beforehand or not, but I visited the Flemish city of Bruges recently. STOP! Don't hit the back browser, it's not another beer review, honest. Bruges, Brugge, Brugs or even Brugse, is situated in ...
Pros: City is compact enough to tour in one day - beautiful and bewitching! Cons: One day is hardly enough to see it all!
There is something very magical about cities with centuries-old buildings and crisscrossing canals. The city of Bruges fits that mold, an ancient city that is well-preserved and it allows you to journey to a medieval era gone-by. While in Bruges ...
Pros: Practically unchanged by the passage of time, CHOCOLATE!! Cons: Not much to do - don't go unless you want a relaxing time!!
I've been on a couple of day trips to Bruges and, though they were both a few years ago, I can confidently predict that it won't have changed much in that time. In fact that's the whole appeal of the little city – it doesn't seem to have ...
Pros: Beautiful city, stunning buildings and some great bars! Cons: Gets VERY busy and can be expensive.
During our excellent trip to Belgium in June this year we had a day out in the beautiful city of Bruges. As with our other trips the main motivation was to sample beer and to go on a glorified bar crawl ~ but we did have a wander round the city and had ...
Pros: A photographers paradise, absolutely beautiful Cons: French fries with mayonnaise
History plays funny tricks sometimes, the city of Bruges is a fine example of just how ironic history can be. During the 14th and 15th centuries Bruges was one of the two or three richest and most important seaport towns in Europe. The thriving Flemish...
Pros: One of the most romantic towns in Europe Cons: Bad weather, a lot of tourists
If you drive westward across Belgium from its German border, in less than 2 hours (even at normal speed) you reach the North Sea, and the end of this tiny country. Just 10 miles before you hit the coast, and only 40 minutes after Brussels, you will find ...
I was fortunate enough to recently have the opportunity to spend three days in this little bit of paradise called Bruges. It is like stepping back in time to medieval days, with its beautiful old homes, lovely quaint hotels, winding canals, and...
Pros: Place to kindle your romance. Cons: Boat ride closed in November.
Review Topic: Sights & Attractions
Review Topic: Sights & AttractionsI would like to thank you all of you who wrote so enthusiastically about this place. Having read your epinions on Bruges I feel I should go and...
Pros: Beautiful, charming, clean and well preserved. Cons: Lots of tourists in the summer.
For a long time I had been willing to write a thorough review about the beautiful medieval city of Bruges in Belgium. Now that I have put some memories back together and gathered some information from our different visits, I feel it is time for me to...
Pros: Absolutely, stunningly beautiful. Friendly and helpful natives. Great food! Cons: The language can be tricky because there are so many possibilities to choose from, but that may seem appealing to adventurous types like me.
Review Topic: Overview
We arrived in Bruges at dusk, and it was so quiet at night that my traveling companions and I found ourselves whispering when we were outside walking. The first thing we did (after dinner) was to...
Pros: one of a kind, well-preserved and gorgeous Cons: gets touristy in summer
Rome, Paris, London. These are large, beautiful European cities Americans like to visit. The Low Countries are much less popular, they are thought of somewhat less, and let me assure you: for no good reason.
Lots of the cities have been named as 'the Venice of the North' but if I were to select just one of them Bruges would seem to me the most likely candidate. Only that it looks even more Medieval that Venice itself does. Passing years, decades and even...
Pros: Medieval charm, friendly locals, a Venice experience for a lot less. Cons: As usual with tourist towns, its crowded.
The Belgian Adventure.
After completing my sightseeing in Brussels, I hopped on the train and arrived in the quaint city of Bruges, Belgium just one hour away. I was immediately taken aback.
When I lived in the Netherlands in high school, I was right by the Belgium border. Bruges was a few hour bike ride away. I went there often and always had a lovely time. It's the perfect town to take a leisurely day in. It's full of what Americans go to...
