"Brugge – Medieval, Magical and Moorish!" Brugge by Joan40

Brugge Travel Guide: 16 reviews and 34 photos

The Markt, a beautiful square surrounded by cafes, restaurants and the buildings that make the town what it is, where the old stays old and the new just fades into the background. The perfect place to sit with a coffee and watch the world go by.

Kevin not doing DIY!

Please take a boat trip, it’s a great way to see the city and the boat men are very good guides, or just stroll around and admire the wonderful architecture. On lots of pieces of art and sculpture you will find carved frogs – just look very closely. And make sure you look up at the buildings, otherwise you may just miss something.

Such a cutie

My favourite, I always look out for this little fellow, I think he is really cute, with his “punk” mane. This is another good way to see the town and get your bearings. You can get a horse and carriage ride from the Markt Square.

Pros and Cons
