Best Things to Do in Bruges
Bruges is a charming city of elegant swans and medieval streets, but there's much more here to do than just birdwatch and walk. For foodies, there are several sites dedicated to Belgian specialties: the Choco-Story (chocolate), the De Halve Maan Brewery (Belgian beer) and the Frietmuseum (fries). But ancient history is on display too; make sure and see the medieval Historic Centre of Brugge and the current-day Benedictine convent Beguinage. There are also awe-inspiring churches and a watery landscape of canals, as well as a lovely lake.
