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

Brugge is a must visit after seeing your pics. Love your garden shots.

One of my favorite cities. Great site. I do remember the taverna Curiosa

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