Brugge (Bruge)
One of the most beautiful towns in Belgium, called 'Northern Venise' beause of the numerous channels crossing the city everywhere. Buildings are raising just from the water.
The old part is a real perl of architecrure - a mix of gothyc, classic, renaissence and flamish style.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Architecture, friendly people, museams, lace
Cons:tourists (jokingly)
In a nutshell:Charm of the northern Europe

I was hoping for a little bit more on the canals. Hope to see this as part of my Belgian tour (planned for I don't know when).
