Bruges - Charm and so much more!

by mightywease - last update: Jul 1, 2006

If you were to look up the meaning of the word “charming” then I wouldn’t be surprised if “a visit to Bruges” would be one of the answers.

The two weekends we spent in this city was one of the most charming we have experienced. However, charm is certainly not all Bruges has to offer.

Wander through the medieval streets and admire the attractive houses – many with very distinctive steepled gables.
Walk the 366 steps up the Belfort for fantastic views over two squares – the Markt and Burg – the focal points of central Bruges.
Take a trip on the canal to see the city from a different vantage point. Visit the Groeningemuseum and Memlingmuseum, where you can view some fine late-Medieval art such as the “The Last Judgement” by Hieronymus Bosch.
Eat in any number of excellent restaurants and cafes – and then sample a wide selection of Belgian beers in one of the numerous bars and pubs.

When it is time to leave take home with you some deliciously luxuriant chocolate and many memories of a wonderful, interesting and, of course, charming city.
