Brugge

During our stay in Brussels, we made a day trip to Brugge.

About 18 months ago, I was on a plane on my way to Thailand and I was flicking through those little travel mags they have in the seat pocket. I read this article about Brugge being the hidden gem of Belgium and I wrote it down in this note I have on my iPhone with all the places I want to visit.

I was really excited to be able to mark something off that list.

Brugge is a beautiful little town about an hour and a half out of Brussels on the train. It’s full of quaint colourful houses and cobbled streets. There is loads of old churches and there is a series of canals that run through the city.

Whilst Brugge is beautiful, unfortunately I didn’t do my research well enough because they day we went was a bank holiday in Belgium so not only was it heaving with day trippers from all over Belgium, a lot of the shops were shut.

Still we had a little walk around, ate some chips and went home.
