Bruges is a historical trading city located east of Ghent but is smaller and
more touristy. Two major streets lead to the Centrum and the pedestrian area
is limited to the Market Square (Grote Markt). The Belfry of Bruges is
located at the south end of the square and many people climb it to get a view
of the city.
Canal cruises are popular in Bruges and let tourists experience the city from a historic perspective. While Bruges is picturesque most stores and attractions usually close at five o’clock limiting the activities tourists can pursue in the evening. However the upside is that the crowds dissipate and the streets are peaceful to walk through.
We travelled to Bruges by train and could not find any public transit to
access the historical area so we walked for twenty minutes from the rail
station to the city's Centrum.
One of Our stops was "Juliette's Artisanale Koekenbakkerij
" to sample some of their chocolate creations: Pastachio
Intense, Basilic (savory basil flavor which I loved), Tea, Pastachio
Artiste, Croquet Nougat and Amaretto.
