Bruges
Bruges is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, known as the Venice of the North. In 2000 UNESCO included the entire historical city centre on the World Heritage list. Walking along the maze of winding cobbled alleys and romantic canals, you imagine yourself to be in medieval times. The wealth of museums is a striking example of this city's stirring history.
Bruges is also home to contemporary culture, such as the new Concert Hall, which is one of the most prominent music complexes in Flanders, Belgium.
Bruges further maintains high culinary standards. The city boasts dozens of excellent restaurants, trendy lunch addresses, fun coffee bars. All year round the rich aroma of chocolate wafts through the World Heritage city and countless creative confectioners make hundreds of kilograms of the city’s most famous chocolate, the ‘Brugsch Swaentje’ (Bruges Swan). And if your sweet tooth is still not satisfied, why not try a visit to the chocolate museum Choco-Story or pop in for a meal at one of the many restaurants where chocolate is cleverly worked into a whole variety of different recipes.
You would definitely want to come back…
