BRUGGE
Brugge
(or Bruges) is one of the most beautiful medieval
cities
in all
of Europe. Nicknamed "the Venice of the North", the
picturesque canals, cobbled streets, and Renaissance
architecture have made it a favorite with all of
us from Vanberg & DeWulf who have travelled there.
Not only is Blanche de Bruges White beer made here, but Bruges is home to the famous free carillon concerts, the Groeninge Museum of Flemish masters, and canal tours. This city is large enough to be a major shopping, museum, and sightseeing destination, but small enough to be easily seen on foot or by bike, and still retains that small city flavor. Any traveller to Europe should make a stop in Bruges if at all possible.
