Thanks to its enchanting squares, medieval buildings and cobweb of canals, Bruges is like something out of a fairytale. Unsurprisingly, it is Belgium's most popular tourist destination. This is a city in which you can get totally lost, yet always find your way back to the centre thanks to the Belfry, the old tower in the centre of the city. As you walk around its streets, crossing canal bridges and letting the sound of trotting horses drown out your chit-chat, you will feel like you have stepped back in time.

It is a great city. Other than the city center windmills and parks outside of the city center must be seen.
I wanted to go to Belgium to have beer and chocolate and I wasn't disappointed. Seems like every second store in Bruges is a tiny pub or a chocolaterie. And they all seem to be great!
Insider Tip:If you're lucky, you can buy Westvleteren 12 at Bier Tempel.
Almost everyone those I meet in Bruges are there because of the movie (In Bruges). This is a beautiful city. Historical places protected very well. But other than this there is not so much thing to see. But I'm happy to been there and see the city. But if you have very big expectations about this place you get disappointed.
Its a nice city to visit, good food, a lot of beers and chocolate to taste, really beautiful architecture. Didn't go to a lot of museums but there are a lot to know if you want and have time to. The winter may be cold but with some good clothes you are just fine and maybe can catch some snow if you're lucky!
Insider Tip:Rent a bike if it is possible, have a map with you 'couse there are no much of information in the streets and they language is impossible to understand hehe. Eat fries, chocolate, moules, try to drink as much beers as you can 'couse there are A LOT of them and they're really cheap.
