We visited Bruges from Antwerp (95km approx.) and spent the morning hours exploring this World Heritage Site on foot. Bruges, like Amsterdam, is a canal based city and the canal cruises were tempting but we resisted.
Morning hours are always the best to tour a site, when people are just settling down to their respective works, the excitement to explore is at its max. We were greeted by grey skies, luckily for us the clouds decided not to pour. The brick red facades looked good with grey backgrounds.
The city has been restored its past glory, the repainted 14th and 15th century buildings look elegant. The two town squares, Market square and Burg square are worth the visit. I felt like lingering on for some more time, very reluctantly I moved on.

Apparently a very beautiful place. My nephew visits Belique at least once in a month. I made him to go through all your posts about that country. He profusely thanked me.
Yes, I loved Bruges every bit. Went up the belfry tower? Nice pictures
What a great lifestyle, and what a beautiful place. Europe offers such a different take on time. I appreciate your work for this reason as well as for your masterful photography.
i love the architectural facade,
reminds me of Prague's synagogue foe some reason.
glad that those grey skies didn't hinder your trip to see this beautiful city.
Bruges is wonderful and your photos capture some of its beauty.
This is absolutely beautiful! I wonder the amount of research that has gone in planning a trip to such wonderful cites. Congrats!
