Venice Of The North

by nhcram - last update: Sep 25, 2004

The Markt at night
They call it Venice of the North and I now understand why. It is a beautiful city. Each time you turn a corner another beautiful sight greets you. It could be a bridge or a sculpture or another example of Flemish architecture. The city consist of 40 bridges over the canals with only 20 boats taking the tourists on a half hour trip along the quiet waterways. Private boats are not permitted on the canals in the city.
Monument in The Markt
The Markt is the main square and has many beautiful buildings. The restaurants around the square are lovely and it is nice to sit and have a drink watching the world go by.

Waffles and beer... great combination

Belgium as we all know (don't we?) is famous for it's variety of wonderful beers and also waffles and chocolate (not in that order!)
Afternoon tea...Not for me thanks. I prefer waffle and of course a beer.
Belgium specials! mmm

 I grew up in a village about 30 kilometer from Bruges. Never really appreciated it when I was younger, but now I do. Nice pages!
