After talkng to some travbuddys, sayng that 'brugge' is so good, I thought I should go see it. Aftr droppng 'jamie' of at the airport, I took the train to 'brussls.' There we took the train to 'brugge' for a day.

After a most hearty and excellent breakfast at the hotel, Lesley and I took ourselves off to one of Brussels' three main train stations and hopped on the first departure for Brugge. Again, we couldn't really figure out the ticketing system, so we just got on board and figured we'd pay the conductor the €12 during the journey (turned out we didn't have to as no one came around to check). The trip itself was a pleasant enough 50 mins or so and we were soon in Brugge, following the crowds (and...

this city is soo sweet. It seemed to be that the time stopped here.   It looks like a fairy tale old city. Right now I was in the train in my way to Brugge. I have heard so many nice things about that city that I HAVE TO visit it. Because once I took the wrong train, I decided to make sure and ask a guy if this one was the right train. The man was Irish and noticed I wasn’t local – not difficult to see, hahaha. He asked me where I was from, when I said Peru, he became even friendlie...

Taken from my physical journal..Bruges, been interesting.  How many places on earth do you meet people who know where Seattle is based on the musical stylings of Sir Mix A'Lot.  As Conan O'Brien once remarked, "if our show can't be entertaining, at least it can teach americans geography".   This, of course, being during his trip to finland where the president of the country met with him to thank him for his interest and for .. of course, teaching americans about where the...

When I woke up I had a shower and then went downstairs to the bar for free breakfast which wasn't really that great lol. Oh well after we went to the grocery store down the road and got some real food hehe. We spent the day with Nikki and Yo just exploring Brugge. We went to the square and got some pics with the big church and the statue and stuff. We pretty much just wandered around all day...I had to go to the bathroom at one point and I came across my first pay-to-pee toilet so that sucked...

Brugge is a very nice small city situated only 100 km from Brussels. The city is as many others known as the Venice of the North, Brugge is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. This was a justified motive that prompted UNESCO in 2000 to include the entire historical city centre on the World Heritage list. Walking along the maze of winding cobbled alleys and romantic canals, you very fast imagine yourself to be in medieval times - houses are just amazing if you are to old ones. The...

Day trip to Brugge, Belgium. Brugge is known for its lace making. In summer you can watch ladies make lace on the sidewalks. You can take boat rides in the canals or a horse carriage ride through the city.

An hour north of Brussels (by train, of course) is a true gem of Europe.  Brugge is so pleasant and quaint with its cobblestone streets and old Europe feel.  It's what you think a European town should be.  It has a quaint town center with an open market selling everything from fresh flowers to fresh fruits to fresh meats and cheeses.  We just spent a couple of hours meandering from town center back to the train station (we had taken a bus to the town center).  We had ...

We came to Brugge when it was quite late, about 6 p.m.The first thing we saw was a big square with modern fontain and a lot of seaguls. Good start, isn't it? ;)Then we were walking in the labirint of crowded streets and finaly reached the central square near the hotel de ville. The bilding around that place are very beautiful and full of colours. Interesting unforgetable architecture is a sighn of Brugge. And to say more we were lucky to see the test-session of Brugge orchestre. Big number of...

In March I and my daughter had a trip to Brussels. At first day we walked around Brussels. At second day we were in Amsterdam. We were in history museum and Van Gogh museum. My daughter liked grass lawn near Van Gogh`s museum. At third day we went to Paris. We visited several old cathedrals. They were wonderful. On last day we traveled in Brugge.

If you travel for a long period - like say a three month wander through Europe - you tend to get to a point where pretty much everything is much the same. There's the odd highlight, but mostly you're like "OK, what's the currency, what's the language, how do you say thank you?". One of the great advantages of living in London for travelling is you can go and see places briefly, so you don't get this sort of burn out. You head off for a weekend, visit somewhere amazing, then head back to your ...

I caught the nasty 48 bus to the main center and then walked the 1 km to the meeting point for my tour. The first stop of the tour was at a town called Gent. Gent is a very beautiful old town with some buildings going back to 1100’s. apart from walking around all the streets and being told all the history of the area, I stopped inside a church to see a famous painting done by a local artist. Art is not my thing so I don’t remember many of the details about the painting except for the fact...

One of the most fantastic places i ve ever visited....it s like a fairytale...had some great great moments there with friends when i was an erasmus student in Brussels...I hope i ll visit Brugge sometime again this year...

Brugge is a very old city, already mentioned in 892 A.D. The town was situated near the Zwin with direct link to the North sea and became an important port and tradecenter. However, the port got silted. The craft-guilds got much influence, but were overpowered by the merchants. In the late 13th century Brugge was occupied by Jacques de Chatillon under the flag of the French king. The craft-guilds  kicked the French out (Brugse Metten). This leaded to the famous Battle of the Golden Spurs...

I was lucky to travel to Paris for 3days, Brugge(Belgium)also for 3 days and then I went on a bicycle trip from Passau(Germany) to Vienna(Austria). The trip was about 400km all the way down the Danube. Relaxing enjoing the beauty of the river and the everchanging scernery
