I’d been hearing about Bruges for some time, and was eager to discover this pretty, romantic city, clearly one of the most beautiful in Belgium. How can you fail to fall under the spell of the Venice of the North? Here are our tips and addresses for enjoying a weekend in this medieval town.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bruges is said to be Belgium’s number one tourist destination, and it’s easy to see why, with its historic center listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s a charming town with its many canals, cobbled streets, gabled houses, corners with evocative and romantic names like the Pont des Amoureux<\/strong>, its beers so good and varied and its good praline chocolate.<\/p>\n

First impression: the town is as touristy as Brussels<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span> ! This was immediately apparent on our first walk out of the hotel. Groups of tourists from Asia and Latin America actively follow their flag-waving guide. The small boats are crowded with groups and couples in love!<\/p>\n

Second impression: the city isn’t very big! So there’s a lot you can do in a day! In two days, however, you’ll have plenty of time to lose yourself in the streets and enjoy a leisurely stroll. As the saying goes, “all roads lead to Rome”, so if I had any advice to give you, don’t plan an itinerary and get lost in the alleys and neighborhoods, because you’ll always come back to the heart of the city center. Every nook and cranny of Bruges is worth a visit, and the landmarks of the belfries and other church towers are there to show you the way. If you’re a photographer or just love photography, you’re in for a treat! Bruges is a superb city to photograph.<\/p>\n

Third printing. In spring the weather is very pleasant, the parks and canals are in bloom but Bruges<\/strong> is a city that will charm you whatever the season. The atmosphere must be as magical at Christmas as in any other Nordic city. So I’m not going to give you an itinerary to follow, but rather list the must-sees and the little addresses we’ve found.<\/p>\n
