"Bruges ... Venice of the North" Brugge by Helga67
Brugge Travel Guide: 2,680 reviews and 7,153 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:beautiful architecture, narrow alleys, lovely canals, not too big
- Cons:very touristy and crowded

Brugge is on my wish list since a long time. Ciao!
I'll try it!
Brugge is a must visit after seeing your pics. Love your garden shots.
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)
Helga, I love this place! Charming little town with beer and lots of choc. Thumbs up to the brewery tour, i took it!
fabulous tips I plan to go here soon enough thanks Jo
One of my favorite cities. Great site. I do remember the taverna Curiosa
I love to read your pages!
Yes, Bruges is famous for its beautiful laces, and thanks for letting me know why it is called Brugges after all. Kind regards.
Most interesting page about Brugge. Looking forward to visit.
