Bruge is a romantic town, in my map there were even places to kiss designated. Almost everyone speak english (and of course french) so you can talk to everyone.
Insider Tip:Try the fries!!

I looooved Bruges!
Fries, waffles, beer, chocolate... Need I say more? Charming little city worth at least 2 nights. Met fun people and other solo travelers. Great place to hang out between stops in bigger cities. A little bit more quiet and relaxed, something for everybody.
Insider Tip:Go to the beer hall and beer wall at a place called 2Be and sit outside and drink by the canals. We loved Manzato flavored beers, Kwak, Kriek Boon, and others. Also went to a place called t' Brugs Beerte which has like 300 beers on the menu. We did a tour of the De Haalve brewery and I wouldn't recommend it... Very slow moving and you don't actually see any beer production. Get fries at one of the two vendors at the bottom of the old bell tower in the main square... Try the stroofvlees sauce!

Insider Tip:use-it.be make great tourists guides that can be found online and in hotels and information centers.

Bruges, Belgium
The city is small, I mean really small. You can see it in a day so a day trip from Brussels is more advisable. Also, the city is extremely tourist driven so that means prices are high and quality is low. There are a few nice places that you can escape to though to make your trip worthwhile.
Insider Tip:Visit the Half Moon Brewery. I had the best tour guide I've ever met for my tour and the beer at the end is always a plus. Also, rent a bike and head west to the old wind mills, they're fun to see and you can even go inside one of them.

Bruges: small, very romantic and cool!
Bruge is small, but it has a lot to offer for a whole week-end! The architecture of the city is great and really, really beautiful. If there wouldn't be all the modern people and cars in the street you could think you made a time travell in the past. So it can be very romantic. But it can be cool as well! History-or Medieval times will be delighted of this city!
Insider Tip:In the little street "De Garre" is a pub which is called "De Garre". This pub sells it's own brewed beer "De Garre" (12% !). The Pub is very small but very cosy. The Irish Pub in the center (sorry, forgot the name, but it's in a cellar) is very cool, too. I wouldn't recommend the Fries Museum though...
Belgium: Itinerary
Over 1,000 years old, Brussels is one of Europe's classic capitals. Its main square is often regarded as one of the world's most beautiful, while there are also some more majestic ones too. This city is also the EU capital full of official government offices to walk around just outside of the city.
