It's fun how you say Brussels, Ghent and so on are "close" by train when for us, Belgians, a one hour drive is just too far away haha.

I visited Brugge in September, it was one of my favourite cities we visited in Europe. So beautiful!

Thx iam from brugges and tourist some times forget that its still a working city. It's not Disneyland. :)

[timmmahhhh]

Loved it when I was there in 1988, I remember Louven also being very charming, a little smaller and the canals really adding a wonderful character.

NIce to see you promote 'Flanders' Fields' as well. Still at least a 45 minute drive from Bruges (Brugge) though. Here in Belgium we already consider that 'far' :-) Don't forget to stop for food and drinks in the many local towns and villages on the way. Like Ypres (Ieper), Roeselare, Kortrijk, Veurne, Diksmuide... Usually less pricy than Bruges but the same quality food. Bruges is also not far from the sea, certainly check out Ostend as well!
If you can, you should visit Bruges in the fall, the light and the multicolored leaves give it an even more fairytale look! If the weather is nice of course... You have been lucky I gather, because you can have all sorts of weather in April and September :-) Certainly in early April, it can still freeze at night, but in late April you could have downright summer weather as well with temperatures approaching 30°C (85°F). September can be summery or 'automny', so be sure to come prepared!

We arrived on a rainy weekday and it was empty....the next day was a sunny Friday and it was crazy....but still loved it. The people were super friendly.

I went for 3 days last week and loved every minute. The hotel was right by the famous view of the canal and it was beautiful just sitting there eating waffles. The hospital museum and the Dali gallery was excellent. My sister enjoyed the belfry but found it very claustrophobic due to the stairs. I have tendinitis in my knees so had to miss it. I know what you mean about the service, some were friendly but some were a little snotty and cursory. Though its amazing how everyone speaks english. The beguinage is also very peaceful and interesting.

I wanted to say thank you to you I've just come back from Rome and Sorrento and went for 3 guided tours with the guide operator you recommended in your video. They were fantastic! Never had such amazing knowledgeable guides, made our trip really special

I was there with my wife in 2016, and we had a fantastic lunch by getting away from the square and the tourist traps. We found a restaurant named something like "Pigeon House", and the Chef came out and invited us to look at his special roaster in the kitchen, then the owner showed us the basement which was hundreds of years old and was where they stored the wine.

lived in bruges all my life and the feeling is mutual when it comes to tourrists randomly crossing streets lol other than that, it is a really nice place to live, though expensive, true.

[virtualfitnesstv]

Great place to travel and awesome place to walk as well. Great work.

[johnvisage]

Happy to see how much you love the city where i live.

[ellenbelfiore]

Went there in Oct of 2015 on a day trip from Paris. I had seen the movie In Bruges, and I told my husband we must go there. Loved it, would like to go back and stay longer.

I visited Bruges last week and lasted about three hours before leaving. It's a beautiful town, but the number of tourists is matched only by that of Kinkaku-ji in Kyoto. We went to Ghent afterward and it was great.
