Bruges is nowadays  a little town in in the Belgian province of Flandres, where the people speak a Germanic language, very close to Dutch. It only counts 100 000 inhabitants, but it is one of the favorite travel destinations in Belgium, Europe and worldwide. And let me tell you a secret, that only few people know: Bruges was still at the beginning of the XIXth Century one of the first travel destination for mass tourism, a favorite destination for the British and German aristocracy.

Visit the little town of today and think to the wealthy flourishing harbor from the year 1050, which was one of the richest cities in that times Europe. The contemporary Bruges can only dream of the past glory. Two centuries later Bruges (or Brugge for the Dutch friends) completely decayed, as the harbor was no longer useable. From those glorious past times we can still see an interesting Old Town ( no cars allowed) with a few remarcable churches and even a Belfry with 100 bells, when you can hear unbelievable bell concerts.

Visiting the Belfry you can get a bell concert, and a wonderful panoramic view of the all Bruges. But you need to climb 366 steps!

For the today Bruges (which is actually the only one you can visit) bear in mind that is overcrowded in summer, and you must book your stay in advance. The flemmish kitchen is the arm sister of the refined French kitchen, and if you try to compare them you can be easily dissapointed. Nevertheless, you can find in Bruges some restaurants with an amazing kitchen; among them De Carmelieten, ranked among world’s best 50 restaurants.
