Bruges in Love - Belgium 🇧🇪

Bruges is the capital of West Flanders in northwest Belgium, is distinguished by its canals, cobbled streets and medieval buildings. Bruges in 2 days is the perfect addition to any trip throughout Europe. The good thing about this small city, is that you can walk everywhere or even for relaxing by renting a bike. If you want to enjoy warmer weather with lots of sunshine, head there in the summer. The best time to go to is between June and August, which has an average temperature of 18°C with highs of 21°C. Suggested Locations in Bruges Meebrug Bridge: The best place to go for an unparalleled view of the city's medieval buildings and picturesque canals. Bonifacius Bridge: Best for romantic views of the city and the perfect spot for a surprise engagement. Begijnhof: A hidden gem that offers a glimpse into Bruges' spiritual and historical heritage. History: The Romans had built a road on the sand ridge bordering the coastal plain as part of a wider road network. Present-day Bruges arose exactly at the place where this road met the Reie: Burg Square. At the beginning of the 9th century, a simple fortress stood here as part of a coastal defence against the Vikings. International merchants built up Bruges into one of the largest Hanseatic cities. In the 15th century, the city flourished as never before. Large parts of the medieval heritage remained practically intact. At night The glassy water reflects the streetlights and fairy-tale architecture making Bruges picture perfect, all night long Spoken language: native Flemish but all of people also speck a fluent english. Currency: euro Price per day on holiday: about 80 to 100 € per person Tips: the tap water in Belgium is quite safe to drink. Perfect city for a romantic weekend in Europe #cherryblossom2024 #belgium #bruges #europetrip #medieval

[Brugge, the Venice of Belgium] This time, I'll introduce you to Bruges, a city near Brussels that many people may not have heard of or know about! 😁 Bruges is close enough to get to from Brussels by train in an hour and a half. It would be nice to combine it with other cities near Brussels, such as Ghent or Leuven! There's a park you pass by when you get off the train and go into the city, which is Minnewaterpark. It's also called the Lake of Love, so there were quite a few people because it's a tourist attraction.! If you go from the park to the city, you can see a monastery, and the exterior looks really pretty!🤍 Bruges is also famous as a city of canals, and wherever you go, you'll find water. In particular, boat tours along the canals are a must-see for tourists. If you walk a little while looking around the canals, you'll arrive at Marktplatz, the central square of Bruges! The wide square is surrounded by beautiful buildings with a medieval feel, and carriages pass by, so it felt like I had taken a time machine and gone back in time. In the central square, there is a bell tower with a clear view of Bruges, a very beautiful courthouse, and especially when I visited, there was a Christmas market because it was the end of the year, so there was a lot to see. There are also many shops around the square, so it's nice to look around! The city is small, so if you walk around and look around, it takes about half a day~ I recommend going on a day tour from Brussels👍🏻 #Bruges travel #Bruges travel #Brussels travel #Belgium travel #Bruges #Bruges #Brussels #Belgium #Brussels suburbs #belgium #brussels #bruxelles #bruges #Next time here#Christmas travel#2019 travel#Life travel destination#New year#Year-end travel#Winter travel#City travel
