"Bruges ... Venice of the North" Brugge by Helga67


Brugge Travel Guide: 3,344 reviews and 6,576 photos



Bruges is a town you just have to see, to feel, to enjoy. Dining out at a snug little restaurant, making discoveries at every turn, taking a trip on the canals, sipping a racy local beer in one of those quaint old taverns ...


Pros and Cons
  • Pros:beautiful architecture, narrow alleys, lovely canals, not too big
  • Cons:very touristy and crowded

    Have you read Bruges LaMort? I found Georges Rodenbach's grave in Paris, and did some research. Check it out. Barry in Louisiana (disaster area)

    Yes, Bruges is famous for its beautiful laces, and thanks for letting me know why it is called Brugges after all. Kind regards.
