"Amazing Place" Brugge by RhineRoll

Brugge Travel Guide: 2,680 reviews and 7,153 photos

Brugge is a real life open-air museum. In any itinerary of the low countries, it should be included -- but especially in high season, try to choose a less crowdy day, for instance a Monday instead of a Weekend day. For those real connoisseurs among you, I would recommend to visit during the wet and cold season when Brugge exerts a very special atmosphere of its own.

I really cannot give many tips, and there are already so many wonderful Brugge pages on VT. Nevertheless, we picked a gorgeous afternoon with wonderful light. The buildings were literally bathing in it. My pictures will contribute to convincing you how wonderful Brugge is.

Waterways, Waterways, Waterways...

This is the canal leading from Jan VanEyckplein to Dampoort (where the stretch of windmills begins)

    I love reflection photos and that one of the buildings reflecting in the canal is lovely.

    Good updates here Win, though I think if I were to return to this lovely little city, I would book a cabin on the barge again. :))
