Bruges Tourist Information and Visitor Guide
The ancient town of Bruges is one of the best preserved pre-motorised cities in Europe. Once inside the encircling canal, a maze of narrow streets, lined with beautifully designed, centuries-old buildings give a warm and welcoming feel. There are several excellent art galleries and dozens of delicious chocolate shops, and don't miss the local speciality, mussels and frites!
