Where is Brugge?

The medieval city of Brugge is situated in northern Belgium and has nearby access to the North Sea through an extensive canal system. Access to the port allowed Brugge to have significant economic and cultural importance being centrally located to London, Paris and Amsterdam. Other than Amsterdam that is built around canals, it is often referred to as the ‘Venice of the North’.

Many of the medieval buildings within the old city still remain beautifully intact and for this it gained UNESCO inscription during 2000 for both its medieval and its Flemish significance. The combination of the historic architecture, cobblestone square, canals and bridges, creates such a romantic atmosphere and what better way to totally indulge, than to sit and enjoy Belgian chocolates. Sheer bliss in Brugge!
